The magnitude of the air drag is 784 N

Explanation:

An object falling down reaches the terminal velocity when the magnitude of the air drag acting on it becomes equal to the weight of the object. Mathematically, this condition can be written as:

$F_D = mg$

where

$F_D$ is the magnitude of the air drag

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we have

m = 80 kg is the mass of the airman

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting into the formula, we find:

$F_D = (80)(9.8)=784 N$

Answer:

D. The frequency is not affected as the volume of sound increases

Explanation:

Volume of the sound is defined by the amplitude of the wave or how loud a sound is whereas Frequency is basically the pitch of the sound and is inversely proportional to the wavelength . Increasing frequency will increase the pitch of the sound without affecting it's volume.

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall rather that form a surf zone. What does this tell

NARA [144]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Along some shorelines, incoming waves cause the water to simply rise and fall and not form surfs because of the steepness of the shorelines. Long period waves wont form surfs at steep shores because of the breaking and unstability of waves. Wave breaks at the shallow waters. The breaking of the waves depends upon H/L ratio.

Waves move fastest in

JulijaS [17]

Liquids are not packed as tightly as solids. And gases are very loosely packed. The spacing of the molecules enables sound to travel much faster through a solid than a gas. Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air.

A girl throws a ball of mass 0.8 kg against a wall. The ball strikes the wall horizontally with a speed of 11 m/s, and it bounce

Karolina [17]

Answer:

F = 352 N

Explanation:

we know that:

F*t = ΔP

so:

F*t = M $V_f$ -M $V_i$

where F is the force excerted by the wall, t is the time, M the mass of the ball, $V_f$ the final velocity of the ball and $V_i$ the initial velocity.

Replacing values, we get:

F(0.05s) = (0.8 kg)(11m/s)-(0.8 kg)(-11m/s)

solving for F:

F = 352 N
