Answer:
The terminal velocity is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the squirrel is 
The surface area is 
The height of fall is h =4.8 m
The length of the prism is 
The width of the prism is 
The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as
Where 
is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of 
is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1
A is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as
substituting values
Answer:
I= 3.5 amps
Explanation:
Step one:
given data
rating of resistor R= 8 ohms
power P= 100W
Required
The current I
Step two
Yet this power is also given by
make I subject of the formula we have
substitute
The bimetallic strip in a fire alarm is made of two metals with different expansion rates bonded together to form one piece of metal. Typically, the low-expansion side is made of a nickel-iron alloy called Invar, while the high-expansion side is an alloy of copper or nickel. The strip is electrically energized with a low-voltage current. When the strip is heated by fire, the high-expansion side bends the strip toward an electrical contact. When the strip touches that contact, it completes a circuit that triggers the alarm to sound. The width of the gap between the contacts determines the temperature that will set off the alarm.
For t1:
t1 = square root of 2h1 / g = square root of 2 * 0.5 / 9.8 = 0.319 sec
For t2:
t2 = sqaure root of 2h2 / g = square root of 2 * 1.0 / 9.8 = 0.451 sec
Wherein:
t = time(s) for the vertical movement
h= height
g = gravity (using the standard 9.8 m/sec measurement)
d1 = 1*0.319 = 0.319 m
d2 = 0.5 * 0.451 = 0.225 m
Where:
d = hor. distance
ratio = d1:d2
= 0.319 : 0.225
=3.19 : 2.25
The answer is 3.19 : 2.25
