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:

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

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 1.8×106N , one an angle 11degrees west of north an

sp2606 [1]

Answer: 2,9 ×10¹⁰J.

Explanation:

1. The work is a measure of energy and is calculated as the product of the displacement times the parallel force to such displacement.

That means that the only components of the force that contribute to work are those that result parallel to the displacement.

2. Since it is given that the two tugboats "pull the tanker a distance 0.83km toward the north", that is the displacement, and you have to calculate the net force toward the north.

3. Tugboat #1.

a) Force magnitude: F₁ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: α = 11° West of North

c) North component of the force F₁: Fy₁ = F₁cos(α) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N

4. Tugboat #2:

a) Force magnitude: F₂ = 1.8×10⁶N

b) Angle: = 11° East of North

c) North component of the force F₂: Fy₂ = F₂cos(β) = 1.8×10⁶N × cos(11°) = 1.77×10⁶N =

5. Total net force, Fn:

Fn = Fy₁ + Fy₂ = 1.77×10⁶N + 1.77×10⁶N = 3.54×10⁶N

6. Work, W:

Displacement, d = 0.83 km = 8,300 m

W = Fn×d = 3.54×10⁶N×8,300m = 29,000 ×10⁶J = 2,9 ×10¹⁰J

The answer is rounded to two significant figures because both data, Force and displacement, have two significant figures.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

We Often solve the the integral neutron transport equation using the collision probability (CP) method which usually requires flat flux (FF) approach. In this research, it has been carried out in the cylindrical nuclear fuel cell with the spatial of mesh with quadratic flux approach. This simply means that the neutron flux at any region of the nuclear fuel cell is forced to follow the pattern of a quadratic function.

Furthermore The mechanism may be referred to as the process of non-flat flux (NFF) approach. The parameters that calculated in this study are the k-eff and the distribution of neutron flux. The result shows that all parameters are in accordance with the result of SRAC.

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu

ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, $qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}$

$1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}$

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight and the above equation will be as follows.

$(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}$

v = $sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}$

= 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
