Answer:

Option b. is correct.

Explanation:

In the given question a parachutist is falling toward the ground .

Also, the downward force of gravity is exactly equal to the upward force of air resistance.

So, net force applied to the parachutist is equal to zero ( because both force acts in opposite direction ).

Now by first law of motion  :

An object will be in rest or in constant speed unless and until no external force is applied on it .

So, in the question the velocity of the parachutist is not changing with time.

Therefore, option b. is correct.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Some plants disperse their seeds when the fruit splits and contracts, propelling the seeds through the air. The trajectory of th
Anton [14]

Answer:

Option B, 93 cm

Explanation:

An diagram of the seed's motion is attached to this solution.

This is very close to a projectile motion question. And the quantity to be calculated, how far along the grant a seed released would travel is called the Range.

And this would be obtained from the equations of motion,

First of, the height of the plant is related to some quantities of the motion with this relation.

H = u(y) t + 0.5g(t^2)

U(y) = initial vertical component of velocity = 0 m/s, H = height at which motion began, = 20cm = 0.2 m

That means t = √(2H/g)

The horizontal distance covered, R,

R = u(x) t + 0.5g(t^2) = u(x) t (the second part of the equation goes to zero as the vertical component of the acceleration of this motion is 0)

(substituting the t = √(2H/g) derived from above

R = u(x) √(2H/g)

Where u(x) = the initial horizontal component of the bomb's velocity = maximum initial speed, that is, 4.6 m/s, H = vertical height at which the seed was released = 20 cm = 0.2 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s2

R = 4.6 √(2×0.2/9.8) = 0.929 m = 0.93 m = 93 cm. Option B.

What physical property of minerals describes how they will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice?
Rom4ik [11]
<span>The answer is cleavage Cleavage is the way minerals will break along a plane of weakness in a crystal lattice. These plane of relative weakness is formed due to various reasons like the locations of atoms in a crystal lattice so these locations form the smooth repeting surface which could be found out by studying its lattice or are sometimes visible to naked eye.</span>

A steel ball bearing with a radius of 1.5 cm forms an image of an object that has been placed 1.1 cm away from the bearing’s sur
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

The image is virtual

The image is upright

given

R = 1.5 cm

object distance, u = 1.1 cm

focal length of the ball, f = -R/2

= -1.5/2

= -0.75 cm

let v is the image distance

use, 1/u + 1/v = 1/f

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/(-0.75) - 1/(1.1)

v = -0.446 cm <<<<<---------------Answer

magnification, m = -v/u

= -(-0.446)/1.1

= 0.405 <<<<<<<<<---------------Answer

Kindly check the diagram in the attached image below.

A 0.4 kilogram sample of aluminum at 115 degrees Celsius is put into a container containing 0.5 kilograms of water at 15 degrees
AlladinOne [14]

The heat liberated by the aluminium container would be equal to heat absorbed by the water.


According to the first law of thermodynamics for a closed system the total energy of the system is always conserved. Therefore the energy liberated by the aluminium container will completely absorbed by the water untill they both come to thermal equilibrium.
