An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
Alja [10]

Answer:

 Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Explanation:

 We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.

Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

Drag force = 12.0v+4.00v^2

Equating both, we have

    784=12.0v+4.00v^2\\ \\ v^2+3v-196=0\\ \\ (v-12.58)(v+15.58)=0

  So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)

 So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

A 26 cm object is 18 cm in front of a plane mirror. A ray of light strikes the object and is reflected off the mirror at a 42-de
matrenka [14]

Answer:

42 degrees, virtual image, same size as the object (26 cm)

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that:

- When a ray of light is incident on a flat surface (such as the plane mirror), the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence

So, since in this case the angle of incidence is 42 degrees, the angle of reflection is also 42 degrees.

Moreover, the image formed by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (on the same side as the object)

- The same size as the object

So in this case, since the object's size is 26 cm, the image's size is also 26 cm.

A carousel that is 5.00 m in radius has a pair of 600-Hz sirens mounted on posts at opposite ends of a diameter. The carousel ro
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

59cm

Explanation:

angular velocity = 0.8 rad/s

linear velocity = angular velocity * radius

                        =0.8rad/s * 5m

                        = 4 m/s

wavelength = (V + U)/F

where,

V is the velocity of the wave

U is the velocity of the source

F is the frequency of the source.

wavelength = (350 m/s + 4 m/s ) / 600 Hz

Wavelength = 0.59m or 59 cm

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

a) 1.2*10^-7 m

b) 1.0*10^-7 m

c) 9.7*10^-8 m

d) ultraviolet region

Explanation:

To find the different wavelengths you use the following formula:

\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H(1-\frac{1}{n^2})

RH: Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 10^7 m^−1.

(a) n=2

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(2)^2})=8227500m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.2*10^{-7}m

(b)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(3)^2})=9751111,1m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=1.0*10^{-7}m

(c)

\frac{1}{\lambda}=(1.097*10^7m^{-1})(1-\frac{1}{(4)^2})=10284375m^{-1}\\\\\lambda=9.7*10^{-8}m

(d) The three lines belong to the ultraviolet region.

A circular coil has a 10.0 cm radius and consists of 30.0 closely wound turns of wire. an externally produced magnetic field of
IrinaVladis [17]
Magnetic flux can be calculated by the product of the magnetic field and the area that is perpendicular to the field that it penetrates. It has units of Weber or Tesla-m^2. For the first question, when there is no current in the coil, the flux would be:

ΦB = BA
          A = πr^2
          A = π(.1 m)^2
          A = π/100 m^2   

 ΦB = 2.60x10^-3 T (π/100 m^2 ) ΦB = 8.17x10^-5 T-m^2 or Wb (This is only for one loop of the coil)

The inductance on the coil given the current flows in a certain direction can be calculated by the product of the total number of turns in the coil and the flux of one loop over the current passing through. We do as follows:

L = N (ΦB ) / I
L = 30 (8.17x10^-5 T-m^2) / 3.80 = 6.44x10^-4 mH
