Answer:

The magnitude of air = 392N

Explanation:

We use Newton's 2nd law. The sum of the vertical forces must be equal to zero because at terminal speed , the acceleration is zero. Solving for the air resistance force,F(air ) gives:

EFvertical = mg - F(air)= ma

F(air) = mg = 40 × 9.8 = 392N

Answer: 392N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that "The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object."

the sum of vertical forces has to be equal to zero because by the time the terminal speed has been attained, the acceleration is zero. Now, we solve for air resistance force.

summation of F(vertical) = mg - F(air) = ma

a = 0 m/s²

thus, F(air) = mg

F(air) = 40kg*9.8m/s²

F(air) = 392N

(6) A 75 kg human total footprint area is 0.05 m2 when wearing winter boots. Suppose that you want to walk on snow that can at m
fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25m²

Explanation:

We know that the summation of forces in the vertical direction is zero

So

PA-mg=0

A=mg/p

So

Substituting

A= 75* 9.8/3*10^-3

=0.25m² which is the total shoe area

Calculate the molecular weight of Aluminium hydroxide​
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Al(OH)3 = 26.98 + [(16×3) + (1.01×3)] = 26.98 + 51.03 = 78.01 and the unit will be g/mol

<h3><em>Al(OH)3 = 78.01 g/mol</em></h3>

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

Jenny was applying her makeup when she drove into the student parking lot last Friday morning . Unaware that Cheryl was stopped
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: F = 102141N

Explanation: <em><u>Newton's 2nd Law</u></em> states that a force can change the motion of a body. The relation is given by

F = m.a

whose units are:

[F] = N

[m] = kg

[a] = m/s²

Jenny's car, at the moment of the break, had acceleration:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{11}{0.14}

a = 78.57 m/s²

Then, Force is

F = 1300*78.57

F = 102141 N

<u>Jenny's car experienced a force of </u><u>magnitude 102141N.</u>

What is the speed of sound for a noise that travels 2km in 5.8s?​
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate at which an object covers a particular distance. So the formula for determining speed is given as the ratio of distance to time taken for covering that distance.

Speed = Distance/Time

As here the distance is given in km units and time in s units, so the units of any one parameter should be changed. Since we know that speed of sound is always about 300 m/s. So it is better to convert the unit of distance from km to m.

Hence, now the distance traveled by the noise is 2000 m and time taken is 5.8 s.

So the speed of noise = Distance/Time = 2000/5.8=345 m/s.

Thus, the speed of noise is slightly greater than the speed of sound and it is found to be 345 m/s.
