Answer:

The terminal velocity of the diver is 115 m/s = 414 km/hr

Explanation:

At terminal velocity,

Fnet = mg - Fd = 0

Drag force, Fd = cρAv²/2

mg = cρAv²/2

Terminal Velocity of a body falling through a fluid as in a diver falling through air is given by

v = √(2mg/ρcA)

where m = mass of body falling through fluid = 80 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

ρ = density fluid, density of air, as obtained from literature = 1.21 kg/m³

c = coefficient of drag friction of diver falling through air, as obtained from literature = 0.7

A = the area of the diver facing the fluid = 0.14 m²

v = √(2mg/ρcA) = √((2 × 80 × 9.8)/(1.21 × 0.7 × 0.14)) = 115 m/s = 115 × (3600/1000) km/hr = 414 km/hr

In which situation will the friction between an object and the surface on which it is moving be decreased? a. the object is push

lawyer [7]

d. the surface on which the object is moving is made smoother

This is called lubrication, I think ...

b. the weight of the moving object is decreased

If there is less araea of contact because of the weight reduction ("squeezing together") then this could also have an effexct. I thinl though the thrust of the q is on lubrication = oil, talcum powder, thin films of water etc

A helium nucleus (charge = 2e, mass = 6.63 10-27 kg) traveling at 6.20 105 m/s enters an electric field, traveling from point ci

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

$v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on helium nucleus is 2e and its mass is $6.63\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Speed of nucleus at A is $v_A=6.2\times 10^5\ m/s$

Potential at point A, $V_A=1.5\times 10^3\ V$

Potential at point B, $V_B=4\times 10^3\ V$

We need to find the speed at point B on the circle. It is based on the concept of conservation of energy such that :

increase in kinetic energy = increase in potential×charge

$\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)=(V_B-V_A)q\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}m(v_A^2-v_B^2)={(4\times 10^3-1.5\times 10^3)}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=8\times 10^{-16}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=\dfrac{2\times 8\times 10^{-16}}{6.63\times 10^{-27}}\\\\v_A^2-v_B^2=2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B^2=(6.2\times 10^5)^2-2.41\times 10^{11}\\\\v_B=3.78\times 10^5\ m/s$

So, the speed at point B is $3.78\times 10^5\ m/s$ .

If the potential difference across a 12-ohm resistor is 6 volts, the current through the resistor is?

larisa86 [58]

Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the resistor and directly to the potential difference across it.

I = V/R = 6/12 = 0.5 A

You have two lightweight metal spheres, each hanging from an insulating nylon thread. One of the spheres has a net negative char

kkurt [141]

Answer:attract each other

Explanation:

When two-sphere, one with a negative charge and another neutral is brought close together but do not touch then they try to attract each other.

This because of the polarization of the neutral sphere as it is placed in the vicinity of a negatively charged sphere. The negatively charged sphere will induce the positive charge in the neutral sphere and they will attract each other according to Columb law.
