Answer:

Option b. is correct.

Explanation:

In the given question a parachutist is falling toward the ground .

Also, the downward force of gravity is exactly equal to the upward force of air resistance.

So, net force applied to the parachutist is equal to zero ( because both force acts in opposite direction ).

Now by first law of motion  :

An object will be in rest or in constant speed unless and until no external force is applied on it .

So, in the question the velocity of the parachutist is not changing with time.

Therefore, option b. is correct.

Hence, this is the required solution.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

4 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = m2 = m

u1 = 20 m/s, u2 = - 12 m/s

Let the speed of composite body is v after the collision.

Use the conservation of momentum

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m1 x u1 + m2 x u2 = (m1 + m2) x v

m x 20 - m x 12 = (m + m) x v

20 - 12 = 2 v

8 = 2 v

v = 4 m/s

Thus, the speed of teh composite body is 4 m/s.

The magnitude of each force is 208 N the force on the right is applied at an angle 36° and the mass of the block is 17 kg the co
djyliett [7]

Answer:

<em>11.06m/s²</em>

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law of motion

\sm F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - \mu R mgcos \theta = ma_x\\

Given

Mass m = 17kg

Fm = 208N

theta = 36 degrees

g = 9.8m/s²

a is the acceleration

Substitute

208 - 0.148(17)(9.8)cos 36 = 17a

208 - 24.6568cos36 = 17a

208 - 19.9478 = 17a

188.05 = 17a

a = 188.05/17

a = 11.06m/s²

<em>Hence the  the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is 11.06m/s²</em>

A 41-turn square coil of area 0.074 m2 and a 123-turn circular coil are both placed perpendicular to the same changing magnetic
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

<h3>The area of second coil is ≅ 0.025 m^{2}</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

No. of turns in the first coil N_{1} = 41

No. of turns in the second coil N_{2}  = 123

Area of first coil A_{1} = 0.074 m^{2}

According to the law of electromagnetic induction,

Induced emf = -N \frac{d \phi}{dt}

Where \phi = magnetic flux.

Since given in question emf of both coil is same so we compare above equation.

    -\frac{N_{1} d\phi _{1}   }{dt_{1} }  = -\frac{N_{2} d\phi _{2}   }{dt_{2} }

   \frac{N_{1} A_{1}   dB_{1}  }{dt_{1} }  = \frac{N_{2} A_{2} dB_{2}     }{dt_{2} }

        A_{2} = \frac{N_{1} A_{1}  }{N _{2}  }

        A_{2} = \frac{41 \times 0.074 }{123  }

        A_{2} = 0.0246 = 0.025 m^{2}

Therefore, the area of second coil is ≅ 0.025 m^{2}
