A skydiver is using wind to land on a target that is 50 m away horizontally. The skydiver starts from a height of 70 m and is fa

lling vertically at a constant velocity of 7.0 m/s downward with their parachute open (terminal velocity). A horizontal gust of wind helps push them towards the target. What must be their total speed if they want to just hit their target?

Answer:

Answer:

15.67 seconds

Explanation:

Using first equation of Motion

Final Velocity= Initial Velocity + (Acceleration * Time)  

v= u + at

v=3

u=50

a= - 4 (negative acceleration or deceleration)  

3= 50 +( -4 * t)

-47/-4 = t

Time = 15.67 seconds

A shot-putter exerts a force of 0.142 kN on a shot, accelerating it to 22.75 m/s2. What is the mass of the shot?
Svetach [21]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Force and Power.

Since, according to the Newton's law,

Force = mass * Acceleration.

hence, here

Force = 142 N, accelration = 22.75 m/s2

hence, mass = 142/22.75

===> Mass = 6.24 Kg

hence the mass of the shot is 6.24 Kg

Which statement would be a valid argument in favor of using nuclear power? There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
fgiga [73]
Okay so, lets use the process of elimination here. 

<span>A)There are few negative impacts from mining the fuel.
B)Reactors are safe from natural disasters.
C)There are little to no waste products from fission.
D)Nuclear power does not contribute greenhouse gases.

First off, we know B cannot be correct, seeing as how reactors are fragile and are damaged easily by Japan's earthquakes. So we can eliminate B from the choices. We then can eliminate C, since fission creates high levels of nuclear waste, so that leaves us with just A, and D. We can then eliminate A since uranium is radioactive, there is always a chance for negative effects.

So, the correct answer is D</span>

How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Explanation:

Energy released by one slice = E1

E1=10^6\ J

h = 8850 m ; m = 79 kg ,η= 10.5%

We know that potential energy given as

u = m g h

u = 79 x 9.81 x 8850

u=6.8\times 10^6\ J

we know from the defination of efficiency that,  η= E(out)/E(in)

Now amount of PE has to be compensated, In our case, E(out) =u

0.105=\dfrac{E(out)}{E(in)}

0.105=\dfrac{6.8\times 10^6}{E(in)}

E(in)=64.76\times 10^6\ J

Let n be the number of bread slices to be consumed.

n = E(in)/E1

n=\dfrac{64.76\times 10^6}{10^6}

n=64.76

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Jeff puts on a leather jacket over his sweater. The sweater becomes negatively charged. Which statements about Jeff’s situation
Vinil7 [7]

Following statements are true
(i) The leather jacket has a lower tendency to attract electrons than sweater.
When the sweater and the leather jacket are in contact with each other, the leather jacket loses electrons and thus becomes positively charged. the electrons are gained by the sweater and it becomes negatively charges.
The opposite charge attract. so the sweater ( negatively charged) will attract protons ( positively charged) . The leather jacket ( positively charged) will attract the electrons ( negatively charged).
