A 75 kg skydiver can be modeled as a rectangular "box" with dimensions 20 cm * 40 cm * 180 cm. what is his terminal speed if he

falls feet first? use 0.8 for the drag coefficient.

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

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

The angular magnification is $M = 2.808$

Explanation:

From the question we are told

The focal length is $f = 8.9cm$

The near point is $n_p = 25.0cm$

The angular magnification is mathematically represented as

$M = \frac{n_p}{f}$

Substituting values

$M = \frac{25}{8.9}$

$= 2.808$

Consider a vibrating system described by the initial value problem. (A computer algebra system is recommended.) u'' + 1 4 u' + 2

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Therefore the required solution is

$U(t)=\frac{2(2-\omega^2)^2}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} cos\omega t +\frac{\frac{1}{2}\omega}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} sin \omega t$

Explanation:

Given vibrating system is

$u''+\frac{1}{4}u'+2u= 2cos \omega t$

Consider U(t) = A cosωt + B sinωt

Differentiating with respect to t

U'(t)= - A ω sinωt +B ω cos ωt

Again differentiating with respect to t

U''(t) = - A ω² cosωt -B ω² sin ωt

Putting this in given equation

$-A\omega^2cos\omega t-B\omega^2sin \omega t+ \frac{1}{4}(-A\omega sin \omega t+B\omega cos \omega t)+2Acos\omega t+2Bsin\omega t = 2cos\omega t$

$\Rightarrow (-A\omega^2+\frac{1}{4}B\omega +2A)cos \omega t+(-B\omega^2-\frac{1}{4}A\omega+2B)sin \omega t= 2cos \omega t$

Equating the coefficient of sinωt and cos ωt

$\Rightarrow (-A\omega^2+\frac{1}{4}B\omega +2A)= 2$

$\Rightarrow (2-\omega^2)A+\frac{1}{4}B\omega -2=0$ .........(1)

and

$\Rightarrow -B\omega^2-\frac{1}{4}A\omega+2B= 0$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{1}{4}A\omega+(2-\omega^2)B= 0$ ........(2)

Solving equation (1) and (2) by cross multiplication method

$\frac{A}{\frac{1}{4}\omega.0 -(-2)(2-\omega^2)}=\frac{B}{-\frac{1}{4}\omega.(-2)-0.(2-\omega^2)}=\frac{1}{(2-\omega^2)^2-(-\frac{1}{4}\omega)(\frac{1}{4}\omega)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{A}{2(2-\omega^2)}=\frac{B}{\frac{1}{2}\omega}=\frac{1}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega}$

$\therefore A=\frac{2(2-\omega^2)^2}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega}$ and $B=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\omega}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega}$

Therefore the required solution is

$U(t)=\frac{2(2-\omega^2)^2}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} cos\omega t +\frac{\frac{1}{2}\omega}{(2-\omega^2)^2+\frac{1}{16}\omega} sin \omega t$

The air in a 6.00 L tank has a pressure of 2.00 atm. What is the final pressure, in atmospheres, when the air is placed in tanks

ser-zykov [4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume of tank, V = 6 L

Initial pressure, P = 2 atm

We need to find the final pressure when the air is placed in tanks that have the following volumes if there is no change in temperature and amount of gas:

(a) V' = 1 L

It is a case of Boyle's law. It says that volume is inversely proportional to the pressure at constant temperature. So,

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{1}\\\\P'=12\ atm$

(b) V' = 2500 mL

New pressure becomes :

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{2500\times 10^{-3}}\\\\P'=4.8\ atm$

(c) V' = 750 mL

New pressure becomes :

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{750\times 10^{-3}}\\\\P'=16\ atm$

(d) V' = 8 L

New pressure becomes :

$PV=P'V'\\\\P'=\dfrac{PV}{V'}\\\\P'=\dfrac{6\times 2}{8}\\\\P'=1.5\ atm$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose that a sound source is emitting waves uniformly in all directions. If you move to a point twice as far away from the sou

Helen [10]

Answer:

<em>d. unchanged.</em>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is dependent on the speed of the wave and the wavelength of the wave. The frequency is characteristic for a wave, and does not change with distance. This is unlike the amplitude which determines the intensity, which decreases with distance.

In a wave, the velocity of propagation of a wave is the product of its wavelength and its frequency. The speed of sound does not change with distance, except when entering from one medium to another, and we can see from

v = fλ

that the frequency is tied to the wave, and does not change throughout the waveform.

where v is the speed of the sound wave

f is the frequency

λ is the wavelength of the sound wave.

A typical mattress has a network of springs that provide support. If you sit on a mattress, the springs compress. A heavier pers

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Explanation:

Spring has a tendency to store energy in them and deform its shape when force is applied on it. Once the applied force is removed it regains its original shape and size.

It is in helical shape and is used in mattress to give structure and support. Spring have elastic nature and follows spring forces, F = k * x

where is the applied force, k is the spring constant and x is the amount of extension.

When a heavier person sits on a mattress, more weight is applied on springs and they form coils, as weight is removed they regains its shape again.
