0.495 m/s

Explanation

the formula for the terminal velocity is given by:

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ \text{where} \\  \end{gathered}

m is the mass

g is 9.81 m/s²

ρ is density

A is area

C is the drag coefficient

then

Step 1

Let's find the mass

\begin{gathered} \sigma=\frac{m}{v} \\ m=\sigma\cdot v \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(0.01m)^3 \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(1\cdot10^{-6}) \\ \text{mass}=2\cdot10^{-3}\operatorname{kg} \\ \text{mass}=0.002\text{ kg } \\ \text{Area}=(0.01\text{ m}\cdot0.01m)=0.0001m^2 \end{gathered}

now, replace

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2(0.002kg)(9.81\text{ }\frac{m}{s^2})}{(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})(0.0001m^2)0.8}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.03924\frac{\operatorname{kg}m}{s^2}}{0.16\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^{}}}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{0.2452\frac{m^2}{s^2}} \\ v=0.495\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

hence, the answer is 0.495 m/s

A 78−kg skier is sliding down a ski slope at a constant velocity. The slope makes an angle of 21° above the horizontal direction
Feliz [49]

Answer:

274N 0.41

Explanation:

As he is sliding down in a constant speed then the force that accelerates him (weight) and the force that slows his down (friction) are equal.

then

<em>friction=mass x gravity x sin(21)</em>

Fr=78kg x 9.8m/s2 x sin(21)=274N

<em>friction= coefficient of kinetic friction x normal force of from the slope</em>

Fr= u x 78kg x 9.8m/s2 x cos(21)=274N

Fr= u x 78kg x 9.8m/s2 x cos(21)=274Nu=274/677=0.41

Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 4.5 m long, its mass is 0.4
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

density = 0.0933 kg/m

speed = 27.581 m/s

Explanation:

given data

length L = 4.5 m

mass m = 0.42 kg

force  F = 71 N

to find out

mass density and speed

solution

we find linear mass density

linear mass density  = mass / length

put here all value

density = 0.42 / 4.5

density = 0.0933 kg/m

and

speed of wave

speed = √(F/density)

speed = √(0.42/0.933)

speed = 27.581 m/s

Why does water wet the glass while mercury does not​
JulijaS [17]
Mercury does not wet glass because of the cohesive forces within the drops are stronger than the adhesive forces between the drops and glass.
