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

5 0

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

How does a wind turbine transform mechanical energy into electrical energy?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

"A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator."

Two equal forces are applied to a door. The first force is applied at the midpoint of the door, the second force is applied at t
Orlov [11]

Answer:

D) the second at the doorknob

Explanation:

The torque exerted by a force is given by:

\tau = Fdsin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the distance between the point of application of the force and the centre of rotation

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and d

In this problem, we have:

- Two forces of equal magnitude F

- Both forces are perpendicular to the door, so \theta=90^{\circ}, sin \theta=1

- The first force is exerted at the midpoint of the door, while the 2nd force is applied at the doorknob. This means that d is the larger for the 2nd force

--> therefore, the 2nd force exerts a greater torque

.In a bizarre but harmless accident, Superman fell from the top of the Eiffel Tower. How fast was Superman traveling when he hit
ELEN [110]

Answer:

 (7.8) x (9.8 m/s)  =  76.44 m/s

during the time he spent falling.

Since his falling speed was zero when he 'stepped' off of the top,

he hit the ground at  76.44 m/s.

That's about 170 miles per hour.

I'll bet he left one serious crater!

I hope this helps too! :D
