Answer: Air resistance would be 625Newton

Explanation: For small object the air resistance is directly proportional to the velocity that is if you triple the Velocity the air resistance is also tripled.

But for large object like ball and human the air resistance is proportional to the square of the Velocity that is V². So in this case the velocity given is 90km/h which is also 25 m/s.

So the air resistance on Suzie would be the square of the Velocity which is 25² = 625N

<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>

At what net rate does heat radiate from a 300-m^2 black roof on a night when the roof's temperature is 33.0°C and the surroundin

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

24445.85 J/s

Explanation:

Area, A = 300 m^2

T = 33° C = 33 + 273 = 306 k

To = 18° C = 18 + 273 = 291 k

emissivity, e = 0.9

Use the Stefan's Boltzman law

$E = \sigma \times e \times A\times\left ( T^4 -T_{0}^{4}\right )$

Where, e be the energy radiated per unit time, σ be the Stefan's constant, e be the emissivity, T be the temperature of the body and To be the absolute temperature of surroundings.

The value of Stefan's constant, σ = 5.67 x 10^-8 W/m^2k^4

By substituting the values

$E = 5.64 \times 10^{-8}\times 0.9 \times 300 \times (306^{4}-291^{4})$

E = 24445.85 J/s

A Micro –Hydro turbine generator is accelerating uniformly from an angular velocity of 610 rpm to its operating angular velocity

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Angular displacement of the turbine is 234.62 radian

Explanation:

initial angular speed of the turbine is

$\omega_i = 2\pi f_1$

$\omega_1 = 2\pi(\frac{610}{60})$

$\omega_1 = 63.88 rad/s$

similarly final angular speed is given as

$\omega_f = 2\pi f_2$

$\omega_2 = 2\pi(\frac{837}{60})$

$\omega_2 = 87.65 rad/s$

angular acceleration of the turbine is given as

$\alpha = 5.9 rad/s^2$

now we have to find the angular displacement is given as

$\theta = \omega t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

$\theta = (63.88)(3.2) + (\frac{1}{2})(5.9)(3.2^2)$

$\theta = 234.62 radian$

How did thomson’s findings revise dalton’s atomic theory??

Burka [1]

Dalton thought that atoms were indivisible particles, and Thomson's discovery of the electron proved the existence of subatomic particles. ...

What is resonance in sound

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer: Resonance in sound is when one object is vibrating at the same frequency to the second object of forces to the second frequency.

Explanation:

"Acoustic resonance is a phenomenon in which an acoustic system amplifies sound waves whose frequency matches one of its own natural frequencies of vibration (its resonance frequencies)." wikipedia I hope this helps you!
