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

A magnet is moved in and out of a coil of wire connected to a high-resistance voltmeter. If the number of coils doubles, the ind
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

A. Doubles.

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic device such as a generator, when a wire (conductor) moves through the magnetic field between the South and North poles of a magnet, an electromotive force (e.m.f) is usually induced across a wire

The mode of operation of a generator is that a metal core with copper tightly wound to it (conductor coil) rotates rapidly between the two (2) poles of a horseshoe magnet type. Thus when the conductor coil rotates rapidly, it cuts the magnetic field existing between the poles of the horseshoe magnet and then induces the flow of current.

When a high-resistance voltmeter is connected to an electric circuit, a deflection will arise due to the flow of electricity. Moving the magnet towards the coil of wire will cause the needle of the high-resistance voltmeter to move in one direction. Also, as the magnet is moved out from the coil of wire, the needle of the high-resistance voltmeter moves in the opposite direction.

In this scenario, a magnet is moved in and out of a coil of wire connected to a high-resistance voltmeter. If the number of coils doubles, the induced voltage doubles because the number of turns (voltage) in the primary winding is directly proportional to the number of turns (voltage) in the secondary winding.

A balloon filled with helium gas at 20°C occupies 4.91 L at 1.00 atm. The balloon is immersed in liquid nitrogen at -196°C, whil
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

0.25 L

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial pressure = 1 atm

T_1 = Initial Temperature = 20 °C

V_1 = Initial volume = 4.91 L

P_2 = Final pressure = 5.2 atm

T_2 = Final Temperature = -196 °C

V_2= Final volume

From ideal gas law we have

\dfrac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1T_2}{T_1P_2}\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1\times 4.91(273.15-196)}{(20+273.15)\times 5.2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=0.24849\ L\approx 0.25\ L

The pressure experienced by the balloon is 0.25 L

Sort these statements about machines based on whether they are correct or incorrect.
insens350 [35]

as well.

1. Correct

Explanation

An inclined plane is a flat  surface which lie at an angle, Its one end is higher than the other this inclined plane is used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. Staircase also work in similar manner

2. Correct

Explanation

yes all simple machine have a fulcrum

3. Incorrect

Explanation

when we swim that time our arms and legs 'push' the water due to which water displaced in backward direction so her we applied a positive work on the water. According to Newton's Third Law,same magnitude of work is done by water in opposite direction to push us back on our arms and legs. therefore water also does positive work on us.

4. incorrect

Explanation

The force exerted by a machine on an object is input force

5.  Incorrect

Explanation

when the input force is greater than the output force that time machine have mechanical advantage of less than 1.
