Just as a skydiver steps out of the helicopter with no forward velocity someone who’s watching start stopwatch so the time is ze

ro as a skydiver steps out of the plane what is the sky divers downward velocity at that entrance just before starting to fall
Physics

Kobotan [32]3 years ago

Answer: zero.


Justification:


The downward velocity of the sky diver just before starting to fall is zero, assuming that the helicopter is not moving but just hovering.


Before starting to fall, the velocity of the skydiver is the same of the helicopter, which is zero. It is only, once she jumps out of the helicopter that her weight is not supported by the helicopter and so the gravitational force of the Earth attracts the skydiver and she starts to gain velocity at a rate equal to g (around 9.81 m/s²).

25. IF THE ROADWAY IS WET AND THE CAR STARTS TO SKID, YOU SHOULD: A. Slow down by pumping the brakes quickly and firmly B. Slow
AnnZ [28]

If the roadway is wet and the cars starts to skid, one should slow down by shifting to lower gear. The correct option is B.

<h3>What are gears?</h3>

A gear is component used to transmit motion. They are used in cars, trucks, machines, bicycles, etc.

For a car to avoid skidding on the wet roads, one must drive the car slowly. This can be done by shifting the gear to the lower one. This will help car to keep balance when brakes are applied on wet roads.

Thus, the correct option is B.

If 27 J of work are needed to stretch a spring from 15 cm to 21 cm and 45 J are needed to stretch it from 21 cm to 27 cm, what i
kupik [55]

Answer:

9 cm.

Explanation:

The energy used for stretch the spring from 15 cm to 21 cm will be , E_{1}=27J

The energy used for stretch the spring from 21 cm to 27 cm will be , E_{2}=45J

using the energy of spring formula ,we find that

27 = \frac{1}{2}K((21-L^{2})-(15-L^{2}))

45 = \frac{1}{2}K((27-L^{2})-(21-L^{2}))

Dividing both the equation will get,

\frac{3}{5}=\frac{(21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2}}{(27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2}}\\5((21-L)^{2}-(15-L)^{2})=3((27-L)^{2}-(21-L)^{2})\\3(729 - 54L + L^{2}- 441 + 42L - L^{2} ) = 5(441 - 42L + L^{2} - 225 + 30L - L^{2} )\\3(288 - 12L) = 5(216 - 12L)\\24L = 216\\L = 9 cm

Therefore, the natural length of the spring is, 9 cm.

Explain why the moon is always half illuminated and half dark no matter where it is in the lunar cycle.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The easiest way I know to explain it is this:

-- Take a flashlight and a ball into a dark room.

-- Turn on the flashlight and point it at the ball.

-- Half of the ball is lighted up by the flashlight, and the other half is dark.

-- There is no way you can turn or twist the ball to make more or less
than 50% of it lighted up and more or less than 50% of it dark.

<em>Everything</em> in the solar system ... as long as it's shaped like a ball ... is
half illuminated by the sun and half dark.

Which wavelength of light is the best choice when attempting to quantitatively relate solution absorbance and concentration?.
ANEK [815]

The optimum wavelength is 450 nm because that is the wavelength of maximum absorbance by FeSCN2+(aq)

you should choose a wavelength with maximum absorbance. In this case, you are using the scattered light, not the absorbed light as your signal. So you should avoid wavelengths where there are absorption peaks.

<h3>What is wavelength ?</h3>

A waveform signal that is carried in space or down a wire has a wavelength, which is the separation between two identical places (adjacent crests) in the consecutive cycles. This length is typically defined in wireless systems in metres (m), centimetres (cm), or millimetres (mm) (mm).

  • The distance between two waves' crests serves as an illustration of wavelength. When you and another person have the same overall mindset and can easily communicate, that is an example of being on the same wavelength.

A ball thrown with 50N of force accelerates at 25 m/s2.  What is the mass of the ball?
MrRissso [65]
F=ma
Force is 50N. Acceleration is 25 m/s^2.
50N=m*25 m/s^2
Divide both sides by 25.
mass=2 kg
