The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid. Find the t

erminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour) of an 80.0-kg skydiver falling in a headfirst position with a surface area of 0.140 m2.

Answer:

v=115 m/s

or

v=414 km/h

Explanation:

Given data

A_{area}=0.140m^{2}\\  p_{air}=1.21 kg/m^{3}\\  m_{mass}=80kg

To find

Terminal velocity (in meters per second and kilometers per hour)

Solution

At terminal speed the weight equal the drag force

mg=1/2*C*p_{air}*v^{2}*A_{area}\\   v=\sqrt{\frac{2*m*g}{C**p_{air}*A_{area}} }\\ Where C=0.7\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2*9.8*80}{1.21*0.14*0.7} }\\ v=115m/s

For speed in km/h(kilometers per hour)

To convert m/s to km/h you need to multiply the speed value by 3.6

v=(115*3.6)km/h\\v=414km/h

An ice skater at rest pushes against a sled at rest,causing both the skater and sled to move away from each other with different
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

An ice skater at rest pushes against a sled at rest,causing both the skater and sled to move away from each other with different acceleration. It is based on Newton's third law of motion.

Third law says that, for every action there is an equal; and opposite reaction. Here, action is force applied by ice skater and reaction is motion of skater and sled away from each other with different acceleration.

What causes the difference in the angle of the sun on the Earth's surface throughout the year?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The axis is tilted and points to the North Star no matter where Earth is in its orbit. Because of this, the distribution of the Sun's rays changes. ... It also means that the angle at which sunlight strikes different parts of Earth's surface changes through the year.
