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:

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

Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug

Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

$\tau = Fr$

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

$\tau = Fr$

$\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N$

$\tau = 11.55Nm$

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

$I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2$

$I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2$

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

$\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

$\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}$

$\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2$

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians $(\pi / 3)$ , therefore

$W = \tau \theta$

$W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}$

$W = 12.09J$

A continental polar air mass forms in

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. Northern Canada

Explanation:

A continental polar air mass can form over the land during the winter months. In the Northern Hemisphere, it originates in northern Canada or Alaska. As it moves southward, it brings dry weather conditions to the United States. Temperature and humidity levels are both low. Hope this helps :)
