Use conversion of energy. mgh+.5mv^2 initial = final. at the top there's no kinetic energy, at the bottom theres no potential. so mgh at the top=.5mv^2 at the bottom.
mgh at the top = 40 (9.8)(12)
not sure what you mean by 10 miles, do you mean 10 mph or 10 meters/second. if it isnt in SI units, do the proper conversions and put it in m/s
.5mv^2=.5 (40)(final velocity)

Suzie skydiver, who weighs 500 n, reaches terminal velocity of 90 km/h. the air resistance on suzie is then
masha68 [24]
<span>Weight of the skydiver m = 500 N
 Terminal velocity V = 90 km/h
 Here the weight of the person acts as the force, so based on the Newton's third law the applied is the force what we but in the opposite direction making the resistance. So the air resistance exerted on Suzie will be her weight that is 500N</span>

What is the voltage across each resistor?
kogti [31]

Answer:

see solution below

Explanation:

The given resistors are connected in series.

Equivalent resistance in series = 30 + 55 + 15

Equivalent resistance in series Rt = 100 ohms

Since the potential difference in the circuit = 36V

Get the current in the circuit first

I = V/Rt

I = 36/100

I = 0.36A

Get the voltage across 30ohms resistor;

V30 = 0.36 * 30

V30  = 10.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 30ohms resistor is 10.8volts

Get the voltage across 55ohms resistor;

V55 = 0.36 * 55

V55  = 19.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 55ohms resistor is 19.8volts

Get the voltage across 15ohms resistor;

V15 = 0.36 * 15

V15  = 5.4volts

Hence the voltage across the 15ohms resistor is 5.4volts
