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
1 answer:
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 =
Equating both, we have
So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)
So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s

Answer:
Relative population is 2.94 x 10⁻¹⁰.
Explanation:
Let N₁ and N₂ be the number of atoms at ground and first excited state of helium respectively and E₁ and E₂ be the ground and first excited state energy of helium respectively.
The ratio of population of atoms as a function of energy and temperature is known as Boltzmann Equation. The equation is:
=
=
Here g₁ and g₂ be the degeneracy at two levels, K is Boltzmann constant and T is equilibrium temperature.
Put 1 for g₁, 3 for g₂, -19.82 ev for (E₁ - E₂) and 8.6x10⁵ ev/K for K and 10000 k for T in the above equation.
=
= 3.4 x 10⁹
= 2.94 x 10⁻¹⁰
To solve this problem we will use the vector concept given by the cross product between two perpendicular vectors and which results in a vector perpendicular to these two. From the definition of the Magnetic Force we have to
From the property of cross product the magnetic force should point in the direction perpendicular to the plane containing the vectors v and B.
The direction of velocity is north, and the direction of the magnetic force is northeast.
This cannot be the case, as the direction of magnetic force is not perpendicular to the direction of velocity of the charge.
Therefore the correct option for the direction of the magnetic field is <em>"This situation cannot exist because of the relative orientations of the velocity and force vectors" </em>
