Answer:

t = 0.051 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

A skydiver jumped out of a plane and fell 9 miles to the ground. It means 9 miles is the distance covered.

The average speed of the skydiver is 174 miles/hour

We need to find the time for which he dive last. It means t is the time taken. Total distance covered divided by time taken is called average speed. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{9}{174}\\\\t=0.051\ s

So, a skydiver dive for 0.051 seconds.

as a hurricane or tropical storm approaches your location, it's forward speed decreases from 20 kt to 10 kt. How might this affe
zzz [600]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. More total rainfall from a slower moving storm.

When the the forward speed of the hurricanes and tropical storms slows down they tend to increase the rainfall. Because of the slow movement the storm can be for few days over a given region and produce rainfall without stopping, thus create major flooding, pilling up of the coastal water, and produce persistent strong winds even though they have decreased in their forward speed.

An 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s collides (perfectly inelastic) with a 50 kg object initially at rest.
qaws [65]

Answer:

Option C. 5,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

<u>Linear Momentum on a System of Particles </u>

Is defined as the sum of the momenta of each particles in a determined moment. The individual momentum is the product of the mass of the particle by its speed

P=mv

The question refers to an 100 kg object traveling at 50 m/s who collides with another object of 50 kg object initially at rest. We compute the moments of each object

m_1=(100\ kg)(50\ m/s)=5,000\ kg\ m/s

m_2=(50\ kg)(0\ m/s) = 0

The sum of the momenta of both objects prior to the collision is

P=5,000\ kg\ m/s+0\ kg\ m/s

\boxed{ P=5,000\ kg\ m/s}

If the mass of a
mixer [17]

Answer:

The final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration.

Explanation:

The second law of motion gives the relationship between the net force, mass and the acceleration of an object. It is given by :

F=ma

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to given condition, if the mass of a  sliding block is tripled while a constant net force is applied. We need to find how much does the acceleration decrease.

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Let a' is the final acceleration,

a'=\dfrac{F}{m'}

m' = 3m

a'=\dfrac{F}{3m}

a'=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{F}{m}

a'=\dfrac{1}{3}\times a

So, the final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration. Hence, this is the required solution.
