Correct answer choice is :


B) Autumnal equinox


Explanation:


An equinox is usually considered as the consequence when the plane of Earth's equator moves through the center of the Sun, which happens twice each year around 20 March and 22–23 September. When the Northern Hemisphere begins to tilt near the sun in spring, the Southern Hemisphere begins to tilt away from the sun, indicating the start of fall. Thus, in the Southern Hemisphere, the March equinox is described the autumnal equinox, and the September equinox is described the vernal equinox.

KIM [24]

Answer:

3.49 seconds

3.75 seconds

-43200 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 50=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{50\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=3.19\ s

Time the parachutist falls without friction is 3.19 seconds

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 50+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=31.32\ m/s

Speed of the parachutist when he opens the parachute 31.32 m/s. Now, this will be considered as the initial velocity

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 11=31.32+9.81t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{11-31.32}{-67}=0.3\ s

So, time the parachutist stayed in the air was 3.19+0.3 = 3.49 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times t^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=\frac{1}{2}at^2

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{s}{2}=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2

Now the initial velocity of the last half height will be the final velocity of the first half height.

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=at

Since the height are equal

\frac{1}{2}at^2=u1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}at^2=at1.1+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 1.1^2\\\Rightarrow 0.5t^2-1.1t-0.605=0\\\Rightarrow 500t^2-1100t-605=0

t=\frac{11\left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)}{10},\:t=\frac{11\left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)}{10}\\\Rightarrow t=2.65, -0.45

Time taken to fall the first half is 2.65 seconds

Total time taken to fall is 2.65+1.1 = 3.75 seconds.

When an object is thrown with a velocity upwards then the velocity of the object at the point to where it was thrown becomes equal to the initial velocity.

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-240^2}{2\times \frac{8}{12}}\\\Rightarrow a=-43200\ ft/s^2

Magnitude of acceleration is -43200 ft/s²

Why does a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s?
andrew11 [14]

A dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

s = vt - 1 / 2 at²

s = Displacement

v = Final velocity

t = Time

a = Acceleration

s = 5 m

t = 1 s

a = 10 m / s²

5 = ( v * 1 ) - ( 1 / 2 * 10 * 1 * 1 )

5 = v - 5

v = 10 m / s

The equation used to solve the given problem is an equation of motion. In a free fall motion, usually air resistance is not considered for easier calculation. If air resistance is considered acceleration cannot be constant throughout the entire motion.

Therefore, a dropped object only fall 5 meters down after 1 second of freefall, yet achieve a speed of 10m/s due to acceleration due to gravity.

Why is it important to understand forces?
yanalaym [24]
If people never learned forces, there would be a major gap in the world and how it works, let alone in physics...
as much as you don't wanna admit it, force is everywhere and you see it if not use it EVERY day in your life, something as simple as driving a car down the street or too school, your using force of your wheels to move your car, which is moving you

All matter is made up of subatomic particles that contain atoms.TrueFalse
antiseptic1488 [7]

All matter is made up of subatomic particles that contain atoms. This is false statement.

Everything in the universe  is made of matter, and so, everything in the universe is made of atoms. An atom itself is made up of three tiny kinds of particles called subatomic particles: <u>protons, neutrons, and electrons</u>.

All matter is made up of substances called elements, which have specific chemical and physical properties and cannot be broken down into other substances through ordinary chemical reactions.

Matter is anything which have mass and occupy some volume.

On earth, solid, liquid, and gas are the most common states of matter. Not only is water the most common substance on earth, but it is also the only substance that commonly appears as a solid, a liquid, and a gas within the normal range of earth's temperatures.

If the man pushes with a force of 2000N and friction is 500N, what is the resultant force?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the force of 2000 N is directed towards the right and the friction is directed towards the left, the 2000 N force is positive and the other is negative. To find the resultant force:

2000 - 500 = 1500 N to the right
