If earth had no atmosphere, would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity?

1 answer:

5 0

No, because terminal velocity is when the acceleration of the Earth’s gravity is balanced by the air resistance of the atmosphere.

In terms of π, what is the length of an arc

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Since 2 pi = 360 deg and pi equals 180 deg, 30 deg = pi / 6.

S = theta * R = pi / 6 * 3 cm = 1.57 cm

An 82 kg man, at rest, drops from a diving board 3.0 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.55 s after reaching th

ddd [48]

Answer:

1626.4 N

Explanation:

Given that a 82 kg man, at rest, drops from a diving board 3.0 m above the surface of the water and comes to rest 0.55 s after reaching the water. What force does the water exert on him?

The parameters to be considered are:

Distance S = 3m

Time t = 0.55s

Since the man started from rest, initial velocity u = 0

Using second equation of motion

S = Ut + 1/2at^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.55^2

3 = 1/2 × a × 0.3025

a = 3/ 0.15125

a = 19.83 m/s^2

Force = mass × acceleration

Force = 82 × 19.83

Force = 1626.4 N

Therefore, the force that water exerted on him is 1626.4 N

A 2.0 kg particle moves in a circle of radius 3.1 m. As you look down on the plane of its orbit, the particle is initially movin

Ghella [55]

Answer

given,

L(t) = 10 - 3.5 t

mass of particle = 2 Kg

radius of the circle = 3.1 m

a) torque

τ = $\dfrac{dL}{dt}$

τ = $\dfrac{d}{dt}(10 - 3.5 t)$

τ = -3.5 N.m

Particle rotates clockwise as i look down the plane. Hence, its angular velocity is downward.

L decreases the angular acceleration upward. so, net torque is upward.

b) Moment of inertia of the particle

I = m R^2

I = 2 x 3.1²

I = 19.22 kg.m²

L = I ω

ω = $\dfrac{L}{I}$

ω = $\dfrac{10 - 3.5 t}{19.22}$

ω = $0.520 - 0.182 t$

A = 0.52 rad/s B = -0.182 rad/s²

Se golpea una pelota de golf de manera que su velocidad inicial forma un ángulo de 45° con la horizontal. La pelota alcanza el s

nordsb [41]

Answer:

42m/s

6.06s

Explanation:

To find the initial velocity and time in which the ball is fling over the ground you use the following formulas:

$x_{max}=\frac{v_o^2sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\\x_{max}=vt_{max}$

θ: angle = 45°

vo: initial velocity

g: gravitational constant = 9.8m/s^2

x_max: max distance = 180 m

t_max: max time

by replacing the values of the parameters and do vo the subject of the first formula you obtain:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{gx_{max}}{sin(2\theta)}}\\\\v_o=\sqrt{\frac{(9.8m/s^2)(180m)}{sin(2(45\°))}}=42\frac{m}{s}$

with this value of vo you calculate the max time:

$t_{max}=\frac{x_{max}}{v}=\frac{x_{max}}{v_ocos(45\°)}\\\\t_{max}=\frac{180m}{(42m/s)cos(45\°)}=6.06s$

hence, the initial velocity of the ball is 42m/s and the time in which the ball is in the air is 6.06s

TRANSLATION:

Para encontrar la velocidad inicial y el tiempo en el que la pelota está volando sobre el suelo, use las siguientes fórmulas:

θ: ángulo = 45 °

vo: velocidad inicial

g: constante gravitacional = 9.8m / s ^ 2

x_max: distancia máxima = 180 m

t_max: tiempo máximo

reemplazando los valores de los parámetros y haciendo el tema de la primera fórmula que obtiene:

con este valor de vo usted calcula el tiempo máximo:

por lo tanto, la velocidad inicial de la pelota es de 42 m / sy el tiempo en que la pelota está en el aire es de 6.06 s
