Answer:

The speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of skydiver, m = 75 kg

terminal velocity, V_T = 60 \ m/s

The resistive force on the skydiver is known as drag force.

Drag force is directly proportional to square of terminal velocity.

F_D = kV_T^2

Where;

k is a constant

k = \frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2}

When the new drag force is half of the original drag force;

F_D_2 = \frac{F_D_1}{2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_1}{2V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{1}{2V_{T2}^2}\\\\2V_{T2}^2 = V_{T1}^2\\\\V_{T2}^2= \frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} \\\\V_{T2}= \sqrt{\frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} } \\\\V_{T2}=  \frac{V_{T1}}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{T2}=  0.7071(V_{T1})\\\\V_{T2}= 0.7071(60 \ m/s)\\\\V_{T2}= 42.426 \ m/s

Therefore, the speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s

The core of a certain reflected reactor consist of a cylinder 10 ft high 10 ft in diameter The measured maximum-to-average flux
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Diameter = 10 ft = 3.048 m

Flux = 1.5

Power = 835 MW

We need to calculate the volume of cylinder

Using formula of volume

V =\pi r^2 h

Put the value into the formula

V=\pi\times(1.524)^2\times 3.048

V= 22.23\m^3

V = 22.23\times10^{3}\ Liter

We need to calculate the maximum power density in the reactor

Using formula of power density

P=\dfrac{E}{V}

Where, P = power density

E = energy

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{835\times10^{6}}{22.23\times10^{3}}

P=37561.85 = 37.562\times KW/L

Hence, The maximum power density in the reactor is 37.562 KW/L.

Describe the electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves, and give two examples of different types of electromagnetic waves.
Alex

Answer:

Radio Wave

Micro Wave

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves composed by the perpendicular oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

EM waves have both Electrical and magnetic features.

they travel in the velocity of light (3*10⁸ ms⁻¹)

Electromagnetic spectrum is obtained according to their wave length and the frequency. Due to wave length range it's categorized. Here is the decreasing  order of wave length and increasing order  of different wave types in electromagnetic spectrum

  • Radio Wave
  • Micro Wave
  • IR wave
  • Light Wave
  • UV rays
  • X rays
  • Gamma rays
  • Cosmic rays

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

KE = ½Iω²

ΚΕ = ½(mL²/3)ω²

ΚΕ = ½(0.63(0.82²)/3)4.2²

ΚΕ = 1.24541928

KE = 1.2 J
