A 10 m long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 30 m/s when a 68

kg skydiver drops out by releasing his grip on the glider. What is the magnitude of the glider's velocity just after the skydiver lets go?

Answer:

v = 30.39 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of glider,M = 680 Kg

mass of the skydiver, m = 68 Kg

horizontal velocity,V = 30 m/s

when skydiver releases, velocity,v = 30 m/s

velocity if the glider,v' = ?

use the conservation of momentum

M V = m' v' + m v

m' = 680-68 = 612 Kg

680 x 30 = 612 x v + 60 x 30

612 v = 18600

v = 30.39 m/s

since the skydiver's speed will be the same as before release

The glider should continue to travel at 30.39 m/s since there are no external forces acting on it

What's the difference between heat and temperature?

Anestetic [448]

Heat and Temperature are physical properties of a body. While heat is a form of energy, temperature is a measure of how hot a body is. Temperature is directly proportional to the heat of the body, so when heat is introduced, the temperature of the body increases. Hope this helped!

Arsenic diffusion in Si: Arsenic is diffused into a thick slice of silicon with no previous arsenic in it at 1100ºC. If the surf

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Diffusion time is 7.42 h

Solution:

As per the question:

Temperature, T = $1100^{\circ}C$

Surface concentration of arsenic, $C_{S} = 5.0\times 10^{18}\ atoms/cm^{3}$

Surface concentration below Silicon surface, $C_{x} = 1.5\times 10^{16}\ atoms/cm^{3}$

D = $3.0\times 10^{- 14}\ cm^{2}/s$

x = $1.2\mu m = 1.2\times 10^{- 4}\ cm$

Initial concentration at t = 0, $C_{o} = 0$

Now, by using Flick's second eqn:

$\frac{C_{S} - C_{x}}{C_{x} - C_{o}} = erf(\frac{x}{\sqrt{Dt}})$

Thus by putting appropriate values:

$\frac{5.0\times 10^{18} - 1.5\times 10^{16}}{5.0\times 10^{18}} = erf(\frac{1.2\times 10^{- 4}}{2\sqrt{3.0\times 10^{- 14}t}})$

$0.997 = erf(\frac{364.4}{\sqrt{t}})$ (1)

Now,

$erf(z) = 0.997$

Now, from error function values tabulation:

For z = 2.0, erf(z) = 0.998

For z = 2.2, erf(z) = 0.995

Now,

With the help of linear interpolation method:

$\frac{z - 2}{2.2 - 2.0} = \frac{0.997 - 0.995}{0.998 - 0.995}$

z = 2.12

Now, using eqn (1) and above value:

$\frac{364.4}{\sqrt{t}} = 2.12$

$t = (\frac{364.4}{2.12})^{2}$ = 26700 s

t = $\frac{26700}{3600} = 7.42\ h$

A proton moves with a speed of 1.00 x 106 m/s perpendicular to a magnetic field, B. As a result, the proton moves in circle of r

Softa [21]

Answer:

0.0109 m ≈ 10.9 mm

Explanation:

proton speed = 1 * 10^6 m/s

radius in which the proton moves = 20 m

<u>determine the radius of the circle in which an electron would move </u>

we will apply the formula for calculating the centripetal force for both proton and electron ( Lorentz force formula)

For proton :

Mp*V^2 / rp = qp *VB ∴ rp = Mp*V / qP*B ---------- ( 1 )

For electron:

re = Me*V/ qE * B -------- ( 2 )

Next: take the ratio of equations 1 and 2

re / rp = Me / Mp ( note: qE = qP = 1.6 * 10^-19 C )

∴ re ( radius of the electron orbit )

= ( Me / Mp ) rp

= ( 9.1 * 10^-31 / 1.67 * 10^-27 ) 20

= ( 5.45 * 10^-4 ) * 20

= 0.0109 m ≈ 10.9 mm

An airplane has wings, each with area A, designed so that air flows over the top of the wing at 265 m/s and underneath the wing

exis [7]

Answer

given,

Pressure on the top wing = 265 m/s

speed of underneath wings = 234 m/s

mass of the airplane = 7.2 × 10³ kg

density of air = 1.29 kg/m³

using Bernoulli's equation

$P_1 + \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 = P_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2$

$\Delta P =\dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$\Delta P =\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (265^2-234^2)$

$\Delta P =9977.5 Pa$

Applying newtons second law

2 Δ P x A - mg = 0

$A =\dfrac{mg}{2\Delta P}$

$A =\dfrac{7.2\times 10^3 \times 9.8}{2\times 9977.5}$

A = 3.53 m²
