Answer:

568.18 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The formula for gravitational potential is given as

Ep = mgh........................ Equation 1

Where Ep = Gravitational potential, m = mass of the diver,h = Height.

But,

W = mg.................... Equation 2

Where W = weight of the diver.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

Ep = Wh

Make W the subject of the equation

W = Ep/h................... Equation 3

Given: Ep = 25000 J, h = 44 m

Substitute into equation 3

W = 25000/44

W = 568.18 N.

Hence the weight of the diver = 568.18 N

In an electromagnetics lab, you are studying two coils which have a mutual inductance of M=300 mH. Suppose that the current in t
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The mutual inductance of the two coils is

M = 300mH = 300 × 10^-3 H

M = 0.3 H

Current increase in the coil from 2.8A to 10A

∆I = I_2 - I_1 = 10 - 2.8

∆I = 7.2 A

Within the time 300ms

t = 300ms = 300 × 10^-3

t = 0.3s

Second Coil resistance

R_2 = 0.4 ohms

We want to find the current in the second coil,

The same induced EMF is in both coils, so let find the EMF,

From faradays law

ε = Mdi/dt

ε = M•∆I / ∆t

ε = 0.3 × 7.2 / 0.3

ε = 7.2 Volts

Now, this is the voltage across both coils,

Applying ohms law to the second coil, V=IR

ε = I_2•R_2

0.72 = I_2 • 0.4

I_2 = 0.72 / 0.4

I_2 = 1.8 Amps

The current in the second coil is 1.8A

A regular polygon has angkes of size 150° each.how many side has the polygon​
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: 12

Explanation:

ıf each interior is 150 degrees, then each exterior angle is 180–150 or 30 degrees. Hence the polygon has 360/30 = 12 sides

A rocket sled accelerates from rest for a distance of 645 m at 16.0 m/s2. A parachute is then used to slow it down to a stop. If
inessss [21]

Answer:

the stopping distance is greater than the free length of the track, the vehicle leaves the track before it can brake

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the kinematics relations, let's start by finding the final velocity of the acceleration period

          v² = v₀² + 2 a₁ x

indicate that the initial velocity is zero

          v² = 2 a₁ x

let's calculate

          v = \sqrt {2 \ 15.0 \ 645}

          v = 143.666 m / s

now for the second interval let's find the distance it takes to stop

          v₂² = v² - 2 a₂ x₂

in this part the final velocity is zero (v₂ = 0)

         0 = v² - 2 a₂ x₂

         x₂ = v² / 2a₂

let's calculate

         x₂ = \frac{ 143.666^2 }{2 \  18.2}

         x₂ = 573 m

as the stopping distance is greater than the free length of the track, the vehicle leaves the track before it can brake

A continental polar air mass forms in
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. Northern Canada

Explanation:

A continental polar air mass can form over the land during the winter months. In the Northern Hemisphere, it originates in northern Canada or Alaska. As it moves southward, it brings dry weather conditions to the United States. Temperature and humidity levels are both low. Hope this helps :)
