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

A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m

What does the Pauli exclusion principle state? . . A.Electrons will be added to an atom at the lowest possible level or sublevel
BARSIC [14]
The Pauli exclusion principle state that : D. Two electrons occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins

This happen because he stated that in an atom or molecule, two electrons CANNOT have same four electronic quantum numbers

When light in vacuum is incident at the polarizing angle (Brewster's angle) on a certain glass slab, the angle of refraction is
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

θ( p ) + θ( r ) = 90  

θ (r) = angle of refraction and θ ( p ) is polarising angle.

given θ ( r ) = 31.8

θ ( p ) = 90 - 31.8 = 58.2 degree

ii ) Tanθ ( p ) = n ( refractive index ) = Tan 58.2 = 1.6

Why do areas with low altitude have warmer air than areas with high altitude
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Air at higher altitude is under less pressure than air at lower altitude because there is less weight of air above it, so it expands (and cools), while air at lower altitude is under more pressure so it contracts (and heats up).

Explanation:

Hope that helped
