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

How do velocities combine
Anarel [89]

Answer:

They combine if they have the same units

Explanation:

I am not quite sure what you mean by this question. I will try my best to answer this.

Velocities combine only if they both have the same units. The linear velocities have the unit meters per second. For example, a linear velocity and an angular velocity cannot combine together because angular velocity has a unit of radians per second.

Why does the light from the touch reach upto only certain distance
ad-work [718]
It is also likely (but not certain) that the photons will be absorbed by atoms. ... Light particles( or photons) never”run out” or loose their energy, so they can go an infinite distance, or until it reaches an object, that reflects the light or obsorbs it. Ie, a planet, or a mirror.

A spring attached to the ceiling is stretched 2.45 meters by a four kilogram mass. If the mass is set in motion in a medium that
denpristay [2]

Answer:

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x is the required differential equation.

Explanation:

Since the spring force F = kx where k is the spring constant and x its extension = 2.45 equals the weight of the 4 kg mass,

F = mg

kx = mg

k = mg/x

= 4 kg × 9.8 m/s²/2.45 m

= 39.2 kgm/s²/2.45 m

= 16 N/m

Now the drag force f = 16v where v is the velocity of the mass.

We now write an equation of motion for the forces on the mass. So,

F + f = ma (since both the drag force and spring force are in the same direction)where a = the acceleration of the mass

-kx - 16v = 4a

-16x - 16v = 4a

16x + 16v = -4a

4x + 4v = -a where v = dx/dt and a = d²x/dt²

4x + 4dx/dt = -d²x/dt²

d²x/dt² = - 4dx/dt - 4x which is the required differential equation

A 5.45-g combustible sample is burned in a calorimeter. the heat generated changes the temperature of 555 g of water from 20.5°c
Y_Kistochka [10]
Given:
m = 555 g, the mass of water in the calorimeter
ΔT = 39.5 - 20.5 = 19 °C, temperature change
c = 4.18 J/(°C-g), specific heat of  water

Assume that all generated heat goes into heating the water.
Then the energy released is
Q = mcΔT
    = (555 g)*(4.18 J/(°C-g)*(19 °C)
    = 44,078.1 J
    = 44,100 J (approximately)

Answer:  44,100 J
