How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?

Wittaler [7]

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force. The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

A tetrahedron has an equilateral triangle base with 25.0-cm-long edges and three equilateral triangle sides. The base is paralle

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a. 7.046 Nm²/C

b. 2.348 Nm²/C

Explanation:

Data given:

Base of equilateral triangle = 25.0 cm = 0.25 m

Strength of electric field = 260 N/C

In order to find the electric flux we first have to find out the area of triangle.

Area of triangle = $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} a^{2}$

= $\frac{\sqrt{3} }{4} (0.25)^{2}$

= 0.0271 m³

Lets find electric flux,

Electric Flux = E. A

= 260×0.0271

= 7.046 Nm²/C

Now we can find the electric flux through each of the three sides.

Electric flux through three sides = $\frac{7.046}{3}$

= 2.348 N m²/C

Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W
