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

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

)) What do these two changes have in common?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Both are only physical changes

Explanation:

A physical change is a change that does not involve or alter the chemical composition of the substances involved. Physical changes form no new substance and can be easily separated into individual constituents. Example of physical changes are change in state, boiling, melting etc.

According to this question, two processes were given as follows:

1. mixing chocolate syrup into milk

2. rain forming in a cloud

These two processes are similar in the sense that they are both examples of physical changes.

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.

alisha [4.7K]

A)

It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

$S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s$

Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

$\Delta v= \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t} \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2} \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}$

B)

Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

$v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}$

The angle of impact is given by:

$cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}} \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20} \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}$
