A skydiver of mass m jumps from a hot air balloon and falls a distance d before reaching a terminal velocity of magnitude v . As

sume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g .
-What is the work (Wd) done on the skydiver, over the distance , by the drag force of the air?

-Find the power (P d) supplied by the drag force after the skydiver has reached terminal velocity v.

Answer:

a. Wd = ½mv²−mgd

b. Pd = -mgv

Explanation:

The skydiver losses potential energy and gains kinetic energy.

Work done by gravity

W=mg

Therefore, work done by gravity is given as

P.E= weight × height

P.E= mg × d

P.E= mgd

The work done by kinetic energy

K.E=½mv²

Then, the drag work becomes

We=K.E-P.E

We=½mv² - mgd

b. Drag power

Power is given as

Power=force × velocity

The force =weight =mg

g is negative since or is against gravity (upward motion)

Pd=F×v

Pd=-mgv

Is it true of false that the slope of a line equals the average speed of the object.
kupik [55]
IF the object's motion is graphed, and IF time is plotted
along the x-axis and the object's position is plotted along
the y-axis, then the slope of the graph at every point is the
object's speed at that instant of time.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

By Charles's law we have

        V ∝ T

That is

       \frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

Here given that

      V₁ = 0.20 cubic meter

      T₁ = 333 K

      T₂ = 533 K

Substituting

      \frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\frac{0.20}{333}=\frac{V_2}{533}\\\\V_2=\frac{0.20}{333}\times 533=0.3198m^3

New volume of the gas  = 0.3198 m³

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Usually when we think of waves, we think of transverse waves.  These are waves where points move up and down perpendicular to the motion of the wave.  Examples include water waves, whipping a rope, or even doing the "wave" in a crowd.  You can think of these as "two dimensional" waves.

Longitudinal waves are waves where points move left or right, parallel to the motion of the wave.  In other words, there is compression and expansion of the medium.  Examples include sound waves, or pulses in a slinky.
