Explain how a parachute works

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.

A train 400 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 81.4 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l
Luda [366]

Answer:

86.5m

Explanation:

first convert km/h

then

81.4*1000/60*60=22.6

17.6*1000/60*60=4.89

then, x1/t1=x2/t2

we get

x2=400*4.89/22.6=86.5//

Two coils close to each other have a mutual inductance of 32 mH. If the current in one coil decays according to I=I0e−αt, where
fiasKO [112]

The emf induced in the second coil is given by:

V = -M(di/dt)

V = emf, M = mutual indutance, di/dt = change of current in the first coil over time

The current in the first coil is given by:

i = i₀e^{-at}

i₀ = 5.0A, a = 2.0×10³s⁻¹

i = 5.0e^(-2.0×10³t)

Calculate di/dt by differentiating i with respect to t.

di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)

Calculate a general formula for V. Givens:

M = 32×10⁻³H, di/dt = -1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t)

Plug in and solve for V:

V = -32×10⁻³(-1.0×10⁴e^(-2.0×10³t))

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³t)

We want to find the induced emf right after the current starts to decay. Plug in t = 0s:

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(0))

V = 320e^0

V = 320 volts

We want to find the induced emf at t = 1.0×10⁻³s:

V = 320e^(-2.0×10³(1.0×10⁻³))

V = 43 volts

Students in a chemistry class added 5g of zinc (Zn) to 50g of hydrochloric acid (HCl). A chemical reaction occurred that produce
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

10. 36 g ZnCl2

Explanation:

Zn + 2HCl  -> ZnCl2 + H2

0.076 mol Zn

1.37 mol HCl

3 mol H2

Limiting reactant: Zn

1 mol Zn        -> 1 mol ZnCl2

0.076 mol Zn  ->x                         x= 0.076 mol ZnCl2=10.36 g

By considering action-reacton forces,identify why water rises up a thin capillary tube
netineya [11]

The forces of attraction between water molecules and the glass walls and within the molecules of water themselves are what enable the water to rise in a thin tube immersed in water.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Surface or interfacial forces lead to capillarity. The forces of attraction between the water molecules and the glass walls and among the water molecules themselves are what causes the water in a thin tube submerged in water to rise.

Hence, the water rises up a thin capillary tube can be explained by Newton's third law.

To learn more about the force refer to the link;
