A skydiver is jumping from an airplane traveling at 10.0 m/s. The plane is 3520 m above the earth. The sky diver pulls his cord

at 1760 m above the earth. Neglecting air resistance, how far does the skydiver travel horizontally before pulling the cord?
x=____
a.3590m
b.134m
c.190m

Given:
<span>velocity = 10.0 m/s.
The plane is 3520 m above the earth. The sky diver pulls his cord at 1760 m above the earth.</span>
gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Δheight = initial height - final height = gt²/2 

time =√(2 • Δh/g) 
time =√{2 • (3520-1760)/9.8}
time =√{2 * 179.59 s²
time = √359.18
time = 18.95 s. 

s=vt=10•18.95=189.5m or 190m

<span>The skydiver traveled 190m horizontally before pulling the cord.</span>

garri49 [273]

Answer:

a) u = 30.29 m/s

b) t = 2.09 s

Explanation:

given,

velocity = 45 m/s

angle (θ) = 50°

horizontal velocity = 45 cos 50°

time taken to reach 150 m.

times = \dfrac{150}{45 cos 50^0}

t  =  5.19 s

a) height of arrow

s = u t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

s = v sin \theta \times t+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

s = 45 sin 50^0 \times 5.19 -\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 5.19^2

s = 46.78 m

v² - u² = 2 g s

u² = 2 × 9.81 × 46.78

u = 30.29 m/s

b) time taken by the apple = \dfrac{u}{g}=\dfrac{30.29}{9.81}

                                             = 3.09 s

time after which it has to be thrown = 5.19-3.09 = 2.1 s

k0ka [10]

Answer:

External locus of control

Explanation:

External locus of control is an attitude people possess that makes them attribute their failures or successes to factors other than themselves. The opposite of this type of attitude is the Internal locus of control where the individuals take responsibility for the outcomes of their actions whether good or bad. One good thing about the external locus of control is that when the individuals with this characteristic record successes, they attribute it to others and this presents them as people with team spirit. However, when they record failures, they do not want to take the blame, but rather attribute it to others.

Fred exhibits an external locus of control because he attributed his speeding to other factors like the road signs and GPS instead of fully admitting that it was his fault.

Suppose that during a storm the force of the wind blowing against a skyscraper can be expressed by the vector , where each measu
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Here we do not have the vector, but I will try to give a kinda general solution to this type of problem.

If the vector is written as (a, b, c) we have that the force in the x-axis is of a Newtons, in the y-axis is of b Newtons, and in the z-axis is of c Newtons.

Then, we can calculate the total magnitude of this force as:

F = √( a^2 + b^2 + c^2)

wich gives us the total magnitude of the force, but not a direction or anything like that, this is just a scalar.

What wind turbines to hydroelectric dams and ethanol plants have in common?
Brut [27]

All three are forms of renewable energy.

Wind turbines utilize the wind to generate power, hydroelectric dams also do the same (although most states have stopped using them since they're bad for the environment)

Ethanol, a substitute for gasoline, comes from corn, which can be grown in farms throughout America.
