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 motorist inflates the tires of her car to a pressure of 180 kPa on a day when the temperature is -8.0° C. When she arrives at
GuDViN [60]

Apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 180kPa, T = -8.0°C = 265.15K

Final P and T values:

P = 245kPa, T = ?

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final T:

180/265.15 = 245/T

T = 361K

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n
sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}

A metal sphere with radius R1 has a charge Q1. Take the electric potential to be zero at an infinite distance from the sphere.
Airida [17]

Answer:

Part A :  E =   \frac{1}{4\pi}ε₀ Q₁/R₁² Volt/meter

Part B :  V =  \frac{1}{4\pi}ε₀ Q₁/R₁ Volt

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge distributed on the sphere is Q₁

The radius of sphere is R

₁

The electric potential at infinity is 0

<em>Part A</em>

The space around a charge in which its influence is felt is known in the electric field. The strength at any point inside the electric field is defined by the force experienced by a unit positive charge placed at that point.  

If a unit positive charge is placed at the surface it experiences a force according to the Coulomb law is given by

                          F = \frac{1}{4\pi}ε₀ Q₁/R₁²

Then the electric field at that point is

                                   E =  F/1

                            E =  \frac{1}{4\pi}ε₀ Q₁/R₁²  Volt/meter

Part B

The electric potential at a point is defined as the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from infinity to that point against electric forces.

Thus, the electric potential at the surface of the sphere of radius R₁ and charge distribution Q₁ is given by the relation

                           V =  \frac{1}{4\pi}ε₀ Q₁/R₁  Volt

two people, each with a mass of 70 kg, are wearing inline skates and are holding opposite ends of a 15m rope. One person pulls f
Zina [86]

Answer:

7.75 s

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

35 N = (70 kg) a

a = 0.5 m/s²

Given v₀ = 0 m/s and Δx = 15 m:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(15 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.5 m/s²) t²

t = 7.75 s
