A sky diver, with parachute unopened, falls 625 m in 15.0 s. Then she opens her parachute and falls another 362 m in 139 s. What

is her average velocity (both magnitude and direction) for the entire fall?
Magnitude m/s
So for the free fall v = (a)(t) and because a = g in this instance I did v = (9.8)(15.0) = 147 m/s
So for the free fall velocity = 147
The second part is confusing, The parachute is open so a != 9.8 because of the wind drag on the chute, does a = 1/2gt^2? Cause if it does I think I can figure it out.

Answer:

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the motion and total time taken in that motion

here we know that initially the sky diver drops without opening parachute by total displacement 625 m

then she open her parachute and drop another 362 m

so first it took time t = 15 s to drop without open parachute

then it took t = 139 s to drop next displacement

so here total displacement is given as

d = 625 m + 362 m

total time is given as

t = 15 s + 139 s

so average velocity is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{625 + 362}{15 + 139}

v_{avg} = 6.41 m/s

A car is traveling at a speed of 10m/s. A 0.5kg clump of mudis
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Given

speed of car v=10 m/s

mass of clump m=0.5 kg

Radius of car tire r=0.2 m

Since the tire is rotating about axle so a centripetal force is acting constantly on each particle towards the center of tire.

Centripetal force is given by

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{r}

where m=mass\ of\ element

v=speed

r=distance\ from\ center

F_c=\frac{0.5\times 10^2}{0.2}

F_c=250\ N (inward)

The speed of the wave depends on what?
kolbaska11 [484]

The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical properties
of the medium through which the wave is traveling.

It's pretty well unanimous for choice <em>A</em> .

Mass of 23.94kg and volume 2.10 cubic centimeters. Calculate the density of the copper wire in si units (ų/mm cubic)
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Density = 1.14 kg/mm³

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Volume = 2.10 cm³ to mm = 2.10 * 10 = 21 mm³

Mass = 23.94kg

To find the density;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Density = \frac{23.94}{21}

Density = 1.14 kg/mm³
