Explain how a parachute works

2 answers:

5 0

As the skydiver and the parachute fall, the air around them fills the inside of the parachute and causes them both to fall at a much slower rate than normal. The large surface area, and the light weight of the parachute allow it to fall slowly.

A parachute increases air friction, thus reducing falling speed.

Indeed, the air friction is roughly proportional to the surface of the object falling down; the parachute tremendously increases that surface.

Two circular coils are concentric and lie in the same plane. The inner coil contains 170 turns of wire, has a radius of 0.0095 m

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Current in outer circle will be 15.826 A

Explanation:

We have given number of turns in inner coil $N_I=170$

Radius of inner circle $r_i=0.0095m$

Current in the inner circle $I_i=8.9A$

Number of turns in outer circle $N_o=150$

Radius of outer circle $r_o=0.015m$

We have to find the current in outer circle so that net magnetic field will zero

For net magnetic field current must be in opposite direction as in inner circle

We know that magnetic field is given due to circular coil is given by

$B=\frac{N\mu _0I}{2r}$

For net magnetic field zero

$\frac{N_I\mu _0I_I}{2r_I}=\frac{N_O\mu _0I_0}{2r_O}$

So $\frac{170\times \mu _0\times 8.9}{2\times 0.0095}=\frac{150\times \mu _0I_O}{2\times 0.015}$

$I_O=15.92A$

Science If you want to find the energy quantum of light, you multiply the frequency of the radiation (v) by "h". What is "h"?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

"h" signifies Planck's constant

Explanation:

In the equation energy E = h X v

The "h" there signifies Planck's constant

Planck's constant is a value, that shows the rate at which the energy of a photon increases/decreases, as the frequency of its electromagnetic wave changes.

It was named after Max Planck who discovered this unique relationship between the energy of a light wave and its frequency.

Planck's constant, "h" is usually expressed in Joules second

Planck's constant = $6.62607015 \times 10^{-34} J.s$

The vapor pressure of ethanol at 293 K is 5.95 kPa and at 336.5 K it is 53.3 kPa. Calculate the enthalpy of vaporization of etha

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

$H=41.3kJmol^{-1}$

Explanation:

The equation relating the the enthalphy, pressure and temperature is expressed as

$ln(\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}} )=\frac{H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}} ) \\$

Where P is the pressure, H is the enthalphy, and T is the temperature.

since the given values are

$T_{1}=293k, \\T_{2}=336.5k\\P_{1}=5.95kPA\\p_{2}=53.3kPA\\and R=8.314J.K^{-1}mol_{-1}$

if we insert values, we arrive at

$ln(\frac{53.3}{5.95} )=\frac{H}{8.314}(\frac{1}{293}-\frac{1}{336.5} )\\2.19=\frac{H}{8.314}(0.00044)\\H=(2.19*8.314)/0.00044\\H=41,268.8Jmol^{-1}\\H=41.3kJmol^{-1}$
