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>

A roller-coaster car has a mass of 1040 kg when fully loaded with passengers. As the car passes over the top of a circular hill

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

a.6373.5 N

b.-3837.6 N

Explanation:

Mass of roller coaster=m=1040 kg

Radius=r=24 ,

a. $v=9.4m/s$

Normal force= $F_N$

According to question

$mg-F_N=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where $g=9.81 m/s^2$

Substitute the values

$1040\times 9.81-F_N=\frac{1040\times (9.4)^2}{24}$

$10202.4-F_N=3828.9$

$F_N=10202.4-3828.9=6373.5 N$

b. $v=18m/s$

$g=9.81 m/s^2$

$1040\times 9.81-F_N=\frac{1040\times (18)^2}{24}$

$10202.4-F_N=14040$

$F_N=10202.4-14040=-3837.6 N$

Show that a directed multigraph having no isolated vertices has an euler circuit if and only if the graph is weakly connected an

sergeinik [125]

If we let
p as the directed multigraph that has no isolated vertices and has an Euler circuit
q as the graph that is weakly connected with the in-degree and out-degree of each vertex equal

The statement we have to prove is
p ←→q (for biconditional)
Since
p → q (assuming that p is strongly connected to q)
q ← p (since p is strongly connected to q)
Therefore, the bicondition is satisfied

A pickup truck is traveling down the highway at a steady speed of 30.1 m/s. The truck has a drag coefficient of 0.45 and a cross

Sav [38]

Answer:

The energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to compile the concepts of kinetic energy because of the drag force given in aerodynamic bodies. According to the theory we know that the drag force is defined by

$F_D=\frac{1}{2}\rhoC_dAV^2$

Our values are:

$V=30.1m/s$

$C_d=0.45$

$A=3.3m^2$

$\rho=1.2kg/m^3$

Replacing,

$F_D=\frac{1}{2}(1.2)(0.45)(3.3)(30.1)^2$

$F_D=807.25N$

We need calculate now the energy lost through a time T, then,

$W = F_D d$

But we know that d is equal to

$d=vt$

Where

v is the velocity and t the time. However the time is given in seconds but for this problem we need the time in hours, so,

$W=(807.25N)(30.1m/s)(3600s/1hr)$

$W=87.47*10^6J$ (per hour)

Therefore the energy that the truck lose to air resistance per hour is 87.47MJ
