(1) A Newton is 1 kgm/s2 . Is this a fundamental unit or a derived unit?

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True. the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

(G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

fr - w = 0

fr = mg

(G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

G v = mg

v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

in a closed system three objects have the following momentum: 11 kg* m/s, -65 kg*m/s and -100 kg m/s. the objects collide and mo

guajiro [1.7K]

Explanation:

The momentum of the three objects are as follow :

11 kg-m/s, -65 kg-m/s and -100 kg-m/s

Before collision, the momentum of the system is :

$P_i=11+(-65)+(-100)\\\\P_i=-154\ kg-m/s$

After collison, they move together. It means it is a case of inelastic collision. In this type of collision, the momentum of the system remains conserved.

It would mean that, after collision, momentum of the system is equal to the initial momentum.

Hence, final momentum = -154 kg-m/s.

When the force acting on the body equal to acceleration?

topjm [15]

Answer:

Acceleration and velocity Newton's second law says that when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e., to change its velocity, at a constant rate. In the simplest case, a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force.

1600 AM broadcasts radio waves with wavelengths of about 187.37 m. Convert this to miles.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the radio wave is 187.37 m.

Now, the wavelength is given in meters.

We need to convert the wavelength from meters to miles.

In order to convert meters to miles, we have to use their conversion factor.

We know that,

1 meter = $\frac{1}{1609}\ miles$

Therefore, the conversion factor is given as:

$CF=\frac{1}{1609}\ miles\ per\ meter$

So, the wavelength in miles is given as:

$Wavelength=\textrm{Wavelength in meters}\times CF\\\\Wavelength=187.37\ m\times \frac{\frac{1}{1609}\ miles}{1\ m}\\\\Wavelength=\frac{187.37}{1609}\ miles\\\\Wavelength=0.1165\ miles$

Hence, the wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.
