A 60 kg skydiver is falling at a terminal velocity of 50 m/s.

Physics

Answer:

The gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that :

the mass of the skydiver = 60 kg

Velocity = 50 m/s

Thus;  gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

Also; the air resistance is acting upward and the resultant of both forces = mass×acceleration

So;

mg-R = ma

60(9.8) - 120 = 60(a)

588 -120 = 60a

468 = 60a

a = \frac{468}{60}

a = 7.8 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²

What is the wavelength of a light of frequency 7.21?
erik [133]
MEMORIZED E=h*v h=6.626x10-34J*s INFORMED v=7.21x1014S-1CALCULATE E=h*v  E=(6.626x10-34J*s)*(7.21x1014s-1) The "s" cancels out. s-1=1/s so you get s/s  so you are left with Solution 4.78 10-19 J OR .478 aJ  <span>Apex - 467 nm ^.^  hopefully thats the correct thing</span>
