Answer:

a) 31.4 m/s

b) 50.2 m

Explanation:

a) When an object is free falling, its speed is determined by the gravity force giving it acceleration. Equation for the velocity of free fall started from the rest is:

v = g • t

g - is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81 m/s^2, sometimes rounded to 10

t - is the time of free fall

So:

v = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2

v = 31.4 m/s ( if g is rounded to 10, then the velocity is 10 • 3.2 = 32 m/s)

b) To determine the distance crossed in free fall we use the equation:

s = v0 + gt^2/2

v0 - is the starting velocity (since object started fall from rest, its v0 is 0)

s = gt^2/2

s = 9.81 m/s^2 • 3.2^2 / 2

s = 50.2 m (if we round g to 10 then the distance is 10 • 3.2^2/2 = 51.2 meters)

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

<h2>Case i) if \omega L > \frac{1}{\omega c}</h2><h2>So initially if the circuit is inductive in nature then its net impedance will decrease after this</h2><h2>Case ii) if \omega L < \frac{1}{\omega c}</h2><h2>So initially if the circuit is capacitive in nature then its net impedance will increase after this</h2>

Explanation:

As we know that the impedance of the circuit is given as

z = \sqrt{(\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega c})^2 + R^2}

when we join another identical capacitor in parallel with previous capacitor in the circuit then we will have for parallel combination

c_{eq} = c_1 + c_2

so it is

c_{eq} = 2c

now we have

z = \sqrt{(\omega L - \frac{1}{2\omega c})^2 + R^2}

Case i) if \omega L > \frac{1}{\omega c}

So initially if the circuit is inductive in nature then its net impedance will decrease after this

Case ii) if \omega L < \frac{1}{\omega c}

So initially if the circuit is capacitive in nature then its net impedance will increase after this

The pilot might be correct (I think), because, if the gravity of the planet is strong, then the planet’s gravity will pull the spaceship into its orbit, so the engines don’t need to be on for the ship to get pushed toward the planet.
