A skydiver accelerates from REST at 9.8 m/s² for the first 5m of their fall. Calculate their final speed. (Give your answer to 2

significant figures)

Kaylis [27]3 years ago

Answer:

The final speed is 9.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Initial speed of skydiver is 0 as it was rest.

Acceleration of the skydiver is 9.8 m/s²

It accelerates for the first 5 m of their fall.

It is required to find their final speed. Let v is the final speed. It can be calculated using third equation of motion.

v^2-u^2=2as

Here, u = 0

a = 9.8 m/s²

s = 5 m

v=\sqrt{2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 5} \\\\v=9.89\ m/s

So, the final speed is 9.89 m/s.

Explain what is meant by “In Phase” and “Out of Phase?
LekaFEV [45]
In phase would mean both waves are at a positive peak, out of phase would mean one is at a positive whilst the other is at a negative. Out of phase would mean the waves cancel each other out

Suppose that the resistance between the walls of a biological cell is 6.8 × 109 ω. (a) what is the current when the potential di
GenaCL600 [577]
(a) We can find the current flowing between the walls by using Ohm's law:
I= \frac{\Delta V}{R}
where \Delta V=69 mV=0.069 V is the potential difference and R=6.8\cdot 10^9 \Omega is the resistance. Substituting these values, we get
I=1.01 \cdot 10^{-11} A

(b) The total charge flowing between the walls is the product between the current and the time interval:
Q=I \Delta t
The problem says \Delta t=0.86 s, so the total charge is
Q=(1.01\cdot 10^{-11} A)(0.86 s)=8.73 \cdot 10^{-12} C

The current consists of Na+ ions, each of them having a charge of e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C. To find the number of ions flowing, we can simply divide the total charge by the charge of a single ion:
N= \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{8.73 \cdot 10^{-12}C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C} = 5.45 \cdot 10^7 ions

How is energy measured?​
stepladder [879]

Because a Btu is so small, energy is usually measured in millions of Btus. 1 Btu = the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one pound of water (which is equivalent to one pint) by one degree Fahrenheit. This is roughly the heat produced from burning one match.

A(n ___ is used to determine where an implanted electrode is to be placed in a brain in 3-dimensions.
Fynjy0 [20]
A stereotaxic atlas is used to determine where an implanted electrode is to be placed in a brain in 3-dimensions. A stereotaxic atlas is used for doing a stereotactic surgery in order to cure the disorder occurred in the brain. This tool increase the accuracy, reliability, and the measurement of the brain because it gives the accurate brain map<span>.</span>
