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 man is running on the straight road with the uniform velocity of 3 metre per second calculate the acceleration for produced hi
sp2606 [1]

Theoritically

the body moving with uniform velocity has acceleration zero.

Mathmatically,

u=3m/s

v=3m/s (since body is moving with uniform velocity)

a= v-u/t

3-3/t

0/t

0m/s.s

What are the comparisons and contrast of adaptation and natural selection? ASAP!!!!!!
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution.

Explanation:

Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.

find a magnitude of the force such that if the act at right angle there resultant is √10N but if the act of 50° the resultant is
Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Let magnitude of the two forces be x and y.

Resultant at right angle R1= √15N) and at

60 degrees be R2= √18N.

Now, R1 = √(x² + y²) = √15,

R2= √(x² + y² +2xycos50) = √18.

So x² + y² = 15,

and x² + y² + 1.29xy = 18,

therefore 1.29xy = 3,

y = 3/1.29x.

y = 2.33/x

Now, x2 + (2.33/x)2 = 15,

x² + 5.45/x² = 15

multiply through by x²

x⁴ + 5.45 = 15x²

x⁴ - 15x2 + 5.45 = 0

Now find the roots of the equation, and later y. The two values of x will correspond to the

magnitudes of the two vectors.

Good luck
