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>

A line of charge starts at x = +x0 and extends to positive infinity. The linear charge density is λ = λ0x0/x. Determine the elec
kari74 [83]

Explanation:

it is given that, the linear charge density of a charge, \lambda=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}

Firstly, we can define the electric field for a small element and then integrate for the whole. The very small electric field is given by :

dE=\dfrac{k\ dq}{x^2}..........(1)

The linear charge density is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{dq}{dx}

dq=\lambda.dx=\dfrac{\lambda_ox_o}{x}dx

Integrating equation (1) from x = x₀ to x = infinity

E=\int\limits^\infty_{x_o} {\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{x^3}}.dx

E=-\dfrac{k\lambda_ox_o}{2}\dfrac{1}{x^2}|_{x_o}^\infty}

E=\dfrac{k\lambda_o}{2x_o}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.210 m square, spaced 0.815 cm apart. it is connected to a 120 v battery
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

at the beginning: 2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

when the plates are pulled apart: 1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=k \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the permittivity of free space

A is the area of the plates of the capacitor

d is the separation between the plates

In this problem, we have:

A=0.210 m^2 is the area of the plates

d=0.815 cm=8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m is the separation between the plates at the beginning

Substituting into the formula, we find

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m}=2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

Later, the plates are pulled apart to d=1.63 cm=0.0163 m, so the capacitance becomes

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{0.0163 m}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

1. What is the momentum of a 1550 kg car that is traveling leftward at a velocity of 15 m/s?
Alik [6]

Answer:

Momentum, p = 23250 kg m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of a car, m = 1550 kg

Speed pf car, v = 15 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the car. The formula for the momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Substituting all the values in the above formula

p = 1550 kg × 15 m/s

p = 23250 kg m/s

So, the momentum of the car is 23250 kg m/s.

How does the matter and (solar) energy move through the sphere?
Tema [17]
When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.
