Terminal speed=136.7 m/s

the formula for the terminal speed is given by :

V= \sqrt{\frac{2 mg}{\rho a C}}

m= mass=75 kg

a= area=0.2 x 0.4=0.08 m²

ρ= density of air=1.23 kg/m³

C= drag constant =0.8

so V= \sqrt{\frac{2 *75*9.8}{1.23*0.08*0.8}}

v= 136.7 m/s

Basile [38]

Answer:

1.33

Explanation:

Using the formula for destructive interference since the two reflected ray light waves from eyeglass should be made to cancel each other ( destructive interference) and also refractive index of air less than the refractive index of the film and both are less than the refractive index of the glass meaning the both reflected rays from the air and film will experience a phase change

n film =  ( m + 0.5) ( λ / 2t)

since 2 t = ( m + 0.5) ( λ / n film)

where m is an integer, λ is wavelength, and t is thickness  and n film is the refractive index of film

for effectiveness m = 0

n film = ( 0.5) ( 480 ÷ (2 × 90 ) ) = 1.33

Two objects attract each other gravitationally. If the mass of each object doubles, how does the gravitational force between the
madam [21]

Answer:

The gravitational force between them quadruples

Explanation:

According to law of gravitation, the force of attraction (F) between two masses m1 and m2 is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(r) between them. Mathematically,

F1 = Gm1m2/r²... 1

If their masses doubles, the formula becomes;

F2 = G(2m1)(2m2)/r²

F2 = 4Gm1m2/r² ... 2

Dividing equation 2 by 1, we have;

F2/F1 = {4Gm1m2/r²}÷{Gm1m2/r²}

F2/F1 = 4Gm1m2/r²×r²/Gm1m2

F2/F1 = 4

F2 = 4F1

The gravitational force between the masses when they doubles quadruples.

slega [8]

The horizontal motion has no effect on the vertical drop.

From a drop, the distance the ball falls in 'T' seconds is

D = 4.9 T^2

so

2.2 = 4.9 T^2

T^2 = 2.2/4.9

T^2 = 0.449 sec^2

T = 0.67 second

Superman is standing 393 m horizontally away from Lois Lane. A villain drops a rock from 4.00 m directly above Lois. If Superman
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

-963.93 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 4=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.903\ s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 393=0\times 0.0903+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.903^2\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{393\times 2}{0.903^2}\\\Rightarrow a=963.93\ m/s^2

The acceleration of Superman would be -963.93 m/s² from Lois' perspective
