The terminal speed of a sky diver is 130 km/h in the spread-eagle position and 326 km/h in the nosedive position. Assuming that

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

$\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885$

Explanation:

Given data

Terminal velocity for spread eagle position vt=130 km/h

Terminal velocity for nosedive position vt=326 km/h

The terminal speed of the diver is given by

$v_{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{CpA} }$

Therefore the area is given by

$A=\frac{2mg}{Cp(v_{t})^{2} }\\$

Since everything else is constant in the two dives except for the terminal velocity, the ratio between the area in the slow position to the area in the fast position is

$\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=\frac{326^{2} }{130^{2} }\\\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885$

AleksAgata [21]

One of the major limitations of using the ball and stick model for DNA, is that within a single double stranded segment of DNA, one would have to use many many balls to represent atoms that are present in the sugar phosphate backbone, along with all of the main atoms that compose the nitrogenous bases of DNA, we also cannot construct or show the helical form of DNA, by using balls and sticks as well.

A comet is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Its closest approach to the Sun is a distance of 4.8 1010 m (inside the orbit

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Distance $d_i = 4.8 \times 10^{10} \ m$

Speed of the comet $V_i = 9.1 \times 10^{4} \ m/s$

At distance $d_2 = 6 \times 10^{12} \ m$

where;

mass of the sun = $1.98 \times 10^{30}$

$G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}$

To find the speed $V_f$ :

Using the formula:

$E_f = E_i + W \\ \\ where; \ \ W = 0 \ \ \text{since work done by surrounding is zero (0)}$

$E_f = E_i + 0 \\ \\ K_f + U_f = K_i + U_i \\ \\ = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_f^2 + \dfrac{-GMm}{d^2} = \dfrac{1}{2}mV_i^2+ \dfrac{-GMm}{d_i} \\ \\ V_f = \sqrt{V_i^2 + 2 GM \Big [ \dfrac{1}{d_2}- \dfrac{1}{d_i}\Big ]}$

$V_f = \sqrt{(9.1 \times 10^{4})^2 + 2 (6.67\times 10^{-11}) *(1.98 * 10^{30} ) \Big [ \dfrac{1}{6*10^{12}}- \dfrac{1}{4.8*10^{10}}\Big ]}$

$\mathbf{V_f =53.125 \times 10^4 \ m/s}$
