A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60

kg skydiver drops out by releasing his grip on the glider. What is the gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

m_1 = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

v_1 = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

m_2 = Mass of person = 60 kg

v_2 = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s

What is the likely identity of a metal if a sample has a mass of 63.5 g when measured in air and an apparent mass of 60.2 g when
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Gold

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of sample = 63.5 g

Mass of water = 60.2 g

Find:

Object

Computation:

Mass of water displaced = 63.5 g - 60.2 g

Mass of water displaced = 3.3 g

So, volume in water = 3.3 cm³

Density = Mass / Volume

Density = 63.5 g / 3.3

Density = 19.24

So,

Object ,must be gold.

A circular coil of wire of 200 turns and diameter 6 cm carries a current of 7 A. It is placed in a magnetic field of 0.90 T with
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

3.08 Nm

Explanation:

N = 200, diameter = 6 cm, radius = 3 cm, I = 7 A, B = 0.90 T, Angle = 30 degree

The angle made with the normal of the coil, theta = 90 - 30 = 60 degree

Torque = N I A B Sin Theta

Torque = 200 x 7 x 3.14 x 0.03 x 0.03 x 0.90 x Sin 60

Torque = 3.08 Nm

A compass in a magnetic field will line up __________.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Option c

Explanation:

Magnetic field lines form loops starting from north pole to south pole outside the magnet and from south pole to north pole inside the magnet.

Thus the field is such that it is directed outwards from the North pole and directed inwards to the South pole of the magnet.

A compass in a magnetic field will will comply with the magnet's North pole directing towards the magnetic field.

A large piece of jewelry has a mass of 130.8 g. A graduated cylinder initially contains 47.7 mL water. When the jewelry is subme
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: The density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3

Explanation:

To calculate the density, we use the equation:

\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}

Mass of piece of jewellery = 130.8 g

Density of piece of jewellery = ?

Volume of piece of jewellery =( 62.4-47.7 ) ml = 14.7 ml = 14.7cm^3   1cm^3=1ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Density of piece of jewellery}=\frac{130.8g}{14.7cm^3}=8.90g/cm^3

Thus density of this piece of jewelry is 8.90g/cm^3
