Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.

1 answer:

6 0

Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)

a 100 kg gymnast comes to a stop after tumbling. her feet do -5000J of net work to stop her. Use the work-kinetic energy theorem

VikaD [51]

W=ΔKE , W=-5000j
KEinitial=(1/2)mv² , KEfinal=0j
ΔKE=-(1/2)mv²
-5000=-(1/2)(100kg)v²
v=10 m/s

Sarah's mother gets a flat tire on her car while driving Sarah to school. They use a jack to change the tire. It exerts a force

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1250 J

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes an object to move over a distance. The amount of work done (W) is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance traveled.

That is;

W = F × d

Where;

W = work done (J or N/m)

F = force (N)

d = distance (m)

Based on the information provided in this question, F = 5000N, d = 0.25m

Hence;

W = F × d

W = 5000 × 0.25

W = 1250J

Therefore, 1250Joules of work is done by the jack.
