Let his weight be mg.

For a falling body in a fluid.

W - V - U = ma.    Where
                             W = Weight = 800N.
                              m = mass
                             V = Viscous Force = Air Resistance.
                             U = upthrust = Negligible for air.
                             a = acceleration
                             g = acceleration due to gravity.
Note also at terminal velocity  a = zero.
 
W - V - 0 = m(0)
800 - V  = 0
800 = V. 

Therefore the viscous force which is equivalent to air resistance is also 800N.
Cheers.

We call "terminal velocity" the constant speed of a falling body
when it is no longer accelerating.

We know that if a body is not accelerating, then the net force
on it is zero.

From the question, we know that the downward force of gravity
on the skydiver is 800 N.

If the 800 N downward plus the air resistance upward add up
to zero, then the air resistance upward must also be 800 N.

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be
Novosadov [1.4K]
It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
          = kg      *  ms⁻²
          = kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
       kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2

Elliot jumps up and down on a pogo stick. He weighs 600.N, and his pogo stick has a spring with spring constant 1100N/m. What is
tia_tia [17]

From conservation of energy, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

The given weight of Elliot is 600 N

From conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of Elliot must have been converted to elastic potential energy. Then, the elastic potential energy from the spring was later converted to maximum potential energy P.E of Elliot.

P.E = mgh

where mg = Weight = 600

To find the height Elliot will reach, substitute all necessary parameters into the equation above.

250 = 600h

Make h the subject of the formula

h = 250/600

h = 0.4167 meters

Therefore, the height he will reach when he has gravitational potential energy 250J is 0.42 meters approximately

0. 85 kg of lead, specific heat 128 J/kgC, is heated from 50 C to 95 C. How much heat energy did the sample absorb?
Zanzabum
4896

0.85 x 45 x 128 = 4896

Change in energy = specific heat capacity x mass x change in temperature
