The graph shows how the vertical velocity of a parachutist changes from the moment the parachutist jumps from the aircraft until

landing on the ground. Using the idea of forces, explain why the parachutist reaches a terminal velocity and why opening the parachute reduces the terminal velocity.

When a mass of 0.350 kg is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The mass is now displ
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The period is T =  0.700 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The mass is m =  0.350  \ kg

     The extension of the spring is  x =  12.0 \ cm = 0.12 \ m

       

The spring constant for this is mathematically represented as

       k  = \frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force on the spring which is mathematically evaluated as

       F  =  mg  =  0.350 * 9.8

       F  =3.43 \ N

So  

    k  = \frac{3.43 }{ 0.12}

    k  = 28.583 \ N/m

The period of oscillation is mathematically evaluated as

      T =  2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

substituting values

     T =  2  *  3.142*  \sqrt{\frac{0.35 }{28.583} }

     T =  0.700 \ s

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Jupiter is about 2.5 times the acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s surface.
Ann [662]

Answer: The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration

Let the mass of the space probe be m

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth = g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W

W=m\times g

Acceleration due to gravity on the Jupiter = g' = 2.5g

Weight of the space probe on earth = W'

W'=mg'=m\times 2.5g

\frac{W'}{W}=\frac{m\times 2.5g}{m\times g}

W'=2.5\times W

The weight of the space probe on the Jupiter will be 2.5 times the weight of the space probe on earth.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

High-voltage power lines are a familiar sight throughout the country. The aluminum wire used for some of these lines has a cross
goblinko [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

For resistance of a wire , the formula is as follows

R = ρ L / S

where ρ is specific resistance , L is length and S is cross sectional area

Given L = 14 000 m ,

S = 4.8 x 10⁻⁴ m²

specific resistance of aluminum = 2.8 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-meter

Putting the values in the formula

R = 2.8 x 10⁻⁸ x 14 x 10³ /  (4.8 x 10⁻⁴ )

R = 0.8167 ohm .

= .82 ohm .
