A 57 kg paratrooper falls through the air. How much force is pulling him down?

Physics
1 answer:
just olya [345]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Force = Mass * acceleration due to gravity.

Given

Mass of the paratrooper = 57kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Required

Force pulling him down

Substitute unto formula;

F = 57 * 9.81

Force = 559.17 N

Hence the force pulling him down is 559.17N

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, sit atop insulating stands. When they are touched, 1.51 × 1013 electrons flow from sp
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A = -0.576 μC

B = 4.256 μC

Explanation:

Suppose a single electron charge is 1.6\times10^{-19}C. Then the total charge that is flowing from B to A is:

1.6\times10^{-19} * 1.51 \times 10^{13} = 2.416\times10^{-6}C = 2.416 \mu C

Let A and B be the initial charge of spheres A and B, respectively. Since the net charge is 3.68μC we have the following equation

A + B = 3.68 (1)

When they touch 2.416μC flows from B to A, then they are equal, so we have the following equation

A + 2.416 = B - 2.416

-A + B = 2.416 + 2.416 = 4.832 (2)

Add equation (1) to equation (2) we have

2B = 3.68 + 4.832 = 8.512

B = 8.512 / 2 = 4.256 \mu C

A = 3.68 - B = 3.68 - 4.256 = -0.576 \mu C

Voices of swimmers at a pool travel 400 m/s through the air and 1,600 m/s underwater. The wavelength changes from 2 m in the air
Nata [24]

The frequency of a sound is whatever frequency leaves the source. It doesn't change.

Voiced of swimmers at the pool don't change frequency in or out of the water. Only their speed and wavelength change.

On a warm summer day (31 ∘c), it takes 4.60 s for an echo to return from a cliff across a lake. on a winter day, it takes 5.00 s
xenn [34]
The question is missing, but I guess the problem is asking for the distance between the cliff and the source of the sound.

First of all, we need to calculate the speed of sound at temperature of T=31^{\circ}C:
v=(331+0.60 T) m/s = (331+0.6 \cdot 31) m/s = 349.6 m/s

The sound wave travels from the original point to the cliff and then back again to the original point in a total time of t=4.60 s. If we call L the distance between the source of the sound wave and the cliff, we can write (since the wave moves by uniform motion):
v= \frac{2L}{t}
where v is the speed of the wave, 2L is the total distance covered by the wave and t is the time. Re-arranging the formula, we can calculate L, the distance between the source of the sound and the cliff:
L= \frac{vt}{2}= \frac{(349.6 m/s)/4.60 s)}{2}=  804.1 m

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

d ≈ 7,6 g/cm³  

Explanation:

d = m/V = 40g/5,27cm³ ≈ 7,6 g/cm³

V = l³ = (1.74cm)³ ≈ 5,27 cm³

You and your family take a trip to see your aunt who lives 100 miles away along a straight highway. The first 60 miles of the tr
Nitella [24]

Answer:

51.2 mi/h

Explanation:

Total distance, d = 100 miles

First 60 miles with speed 55 mi/h

Next 40 miles with speed 75 mi/h

Time taken for first 60 miles, t1 = 60 / 55 = 1.09 h

Time taken for 40 miles, t2 = 40 / 75 = 0.533 h

Time spent to get stuck, t3 = 20 min = 0.33 h

Total time, t = t1 + t2 + t3 = 1.09 + 0.533 + 0.33 = 1.953 h

The average speed is defined as the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken.

Average speed = =\frac{100}{1.953}=51.2 mi/h

Thus, the average speed of the journey is 51.2 mi/h.
