That 85 kg paratrooper from the 50's was moving at constant speed of 56 m/s because the air was applying a frictional drag force

to him that matched his weight. If he fell this way for 40 m, how much heat was generated by this frictional drag force in J

Answer:

46648 J

Explanation:

mass m= 85 Kg

velocity v = 56 m/s

distance covered s =40 m

According to Question,

frictional drag force to him that matched his weight

\Rightarrow F_d =mg\\=85\times9.81=833 N

Therefore, work done by practometer against the drag force = heat was generated by this frictional drag force in J

W=Q= F_d×s

=833×56 = 46648 J

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.

On a Saturday afternoon, you decide to pay a neighborhood kid to mow your lawn. The kid usesa manual push lawn mower with a mass
Mars2501 [29]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

A.Mass,m=12 kg

\theta=53^{\circ}

\mu_k=0.16

Speed,v=1.5m/s

Net force in x direction must be zero

F_{net}=0

Fsin\theta-f=0

Fsin\theta=f

Net force in y direction

N-mg-Fcos\theta=0

N=mg+Fcos\theta

f=\mu_kN=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)

Fsin\theta=\mu_k(mg+Fcos\theta)

Fsin\theta=\mu_kmg+\mu_kFcos\theta

Fsin\theta-\mu_kFcos\theta=\mu_kmg

F(sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta)=\mu_kmg

F=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}

Power,P=Fv

P=\frac{\mu_kmg}{sin\theta-\mu_kcos\theta}v

Where g=9.8m/s^2

B.Substitute the values

P=\frac{0.16\times 12\times 9.8}{sin53-0.16cos53}\times 1.5

P=40.17W

Describe the main reason why the scientific community did not accept Alfred wegener idea of continental drift?
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>

Set local ground level to 700 ft, and record the inches of mercury.
irakobra [83]

The main way in which an altimeter measures the altitude of an object is by calculating the location's air pressure.

<h3>What is an Altimeter?</h3>

This refers to the instrument that is used to measure the altitude of an object when it is at a fixed level.

Hence, we can see that an altimeter should NOT be confused with a barometer, because although they both measure pressure, a barometer calculates the change in air pressure and elevation based on available weather.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.
