Answer:

Explanation:

Pressure due to fluid is directly proportional to the depth of fluid, density of the fluid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

P = h d g

Where, h is the depth, d be the density and g be the acceleration due to gravity.

If we talk about teh atmospheric pressure, the density of air goes on decreasing as we go up and up. o we cannot say that it is directly depends only on the depth of air, it also depends on the changing density of air.

The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid.
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The terminal velocity of the diver is 115 m/s = 414 km/hr

Explanation:

At terminal velocity,

Fnet = mg - Fd = 0

Drag force, Fd = cρAv²/2

mg = cρAv²/2

Terminal Velocity of a body falling through a fluid as in a diver falling through air is given by

v = √(2mg/ρcA)

where m = mass of body falling through fluid = 80 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

ρ = density fluid, density of air, as obtained from literature = 1.21 kg/m³

c = coefficient of drag friction of diver falling through air, as obtained from literature = 0.7

A = the area of the diver facing the fluid = 0.14 m²

v = √(2mg/ρcA) = √((2 × 80 × 9.8)/(1.21 × 0.7 × 0.14)) = 115 m/s = 115 × (3600/1000) km/hr = 414 km/hr

ikadub [295]

Answers:

The transportation industry is no stranger to the manipulation of everyday physics. Cars and trains utilize the wheel, which provides a smooth, steady motion.

The ears hear sounds which occur through the movement of air molecules, and the chemistry that drives all of biology depends on the physics of energy and molecules. Every day, for example, plants absorb sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, creating glucose and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.
