A paratrooper is initially falling downward at a speed of 27.6 m/s before her parachute opens. When it opens, she experiences an

upward instantaneous acceleration of 74 m/s^2. (a) If this acceleration remained constant, how much time would be required to reduce the paratrooper's speed to a safe 4.95 m/s? (Actually the acceleration is not constant in this case, but the equations of constant acceleration provide an easy estimate.) (b) How far does the paratrooper fall during this time interval?

Answer:

a) 0.31 s

b) 19.77 m

Explanation:

We will need the following two formulas:

V_{f} = V_{0}+at\\\\X=V_{0}t + \frac{at^{2}}{2}

We first use the final velocity formula to find the time that it takes to decelerate the paratrooper:

4.95\frac{m}{s}=27.6\frac{m}{s}-74\frac{m}{s^{2}}t\\\\-22.65\frac{m}{s}=-74\frac{m}{s^{2}}t\\\\t= \frac{22.65\frac{m}{s}}{74\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=0.31s

Now that we have the time, we can use the distance formula to calculate the distance travelled by the paratrooper:

X=27.6\frac{m}{s}*0.31s - \frac{74\frac{m}{s^{2}}*(0.31 s)^{2}}{2}=19.77 m

bagirrra123 [75]

The riddle is solved by knowing that there is only one person left in the garden and that is you.

<h3>How many people are in the garden?</h3>

We are told that there were a total of 34 people in the yard. We do not know if these people are in the garden or somewhere around the yard. The next information we have is that a total of 30 persons were killed.

Since you killed them in the garden, the others may still be lurking somewhere in the yard thus there is only one person left in the garden and that is you.

Which quantity is most closely related to the speed of gas particles
natali 33 [55]
Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecules and energy is related to speed. 

<span>The water in a pot is heated by convection. The water on the bottom will warm up and rise toward the surface and the cooler water will then sink to the bottom where it will be heated. </span>

<span>Oxygen will form ionic bonds with nitrogen. The others will not by themselves. </span>

<span>A high pH is indicative of a basic solution. HCl and H2SO4 are both strong acids and will result in a lower (more acidic) pH. Water is the standard. KOH is a strong base and will increase the pH. </span>

<span>An acidic solid will lower the pH of a solution. pH measures the number of hydrogen ions and a lower pH will mean that there are more H+ ions, but the solid could just have reacted with the OH- to cause the pH to decrease</span>
