Explanation :

When a skydiver prepares to jump out of the plane. Then two forces will acts i.e. the force of gravity and frictional force. Both forces act in the opposite direction.

When the person starts accelerating towards the earth, the gravitational force is stronger.

When he opens the parachute, the surface area increases and hence the resistive force increase. As a result, he or she attains the terminal velocity.

Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.

Two cars travel westward along a straight highway, one at a constant velocity of 85 km/h, and the other at a constant velocity o
spayn [35]

To solve letter a:

d1 = 85t1 = 16 km, 
85t1 = 16, 
t1 = 16 / 85 = 0.1882 h = 11.29 min. 

d2 = 115t2 = 16 km, 
115t2 = 16, 
t2 = 16 / 115 = 0.139 h = 8.35 min. 

t1 - t2 = 11.29 - 8.35 = 2.94 min. 
Car #2 arrives 2.94 minutes sooner.

To solve letter b:

15 min = 1/4 h = 0.25 h. 
d1 = d2, 
115t = 85(t + 0.25), 
115t = 85t + 21.25, 
115t - 85t = 21.25, 
30t = 21.25, 
t = 21.25 / 30 = 0.71 h, 

d = 115 * 0.71 = 81.65 km.

What is the ground-state electron configuration of a neutral atom of titanium?
Georgia [21]

Answer:

\bold {1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^2}

Explanation:

electronic configuration of an atom is the spatial arrangement of the electrons around the nucleus in the energy orbits

We know that the atomic number of Titanium is 22

The electronic configuration of Titanium is

1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^2

You stand on a frictional platform that is rotating at 1.8 rev/s. Your arms are outstretched, and you hold a heavy weight in eac
dusya [7]

Answer:

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

I_i = Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

I_f = Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

\omega_f = Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{9.3\times 1.8}{5.1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=3.28235\ rev/s=3.28235\times 2\pi=20.62361\ rad/s

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_f\omega_f^2-I_i\omega_i^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(5.1\times (20.62361)^2-9.3\times (1.8\times 2\pi)^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=489.81804\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy

an object has a mass of 50kg, a final height of 20m and an initial height of 8m. what is the amount of work done
Andrei [34K]

amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

Find a first-degree polynomial function p1 whose value and slope agree with the value and slope of f at x = c. f(x) = cot(x), c
Neporo4naja [7]

The correct answer is y=-2x+(1/2)

y = f'(x)· x + c

Y = -2x + C

1 = -2x π/4 + C

=) C = I + π/2

y=-2x+(1/2)  is the first-degree polynomial.

First-degree polynomials are the simplest polynomials. Here, we'll talk about a few qualities and connect the terms polynomial, function, and equation. Write a polynomial equation in standard form before attempting to solve it. Factor it, then set each variable factor to zero after it has reached zero. The original equations' answers are the solutions to the derived equations. Factoring cannot always be used to solve polynomial equations. For instance, the polynomial 2x+5 has an exponent of 1. The most typical kinds of polynomials used in algebra and precalculus are zero polynomial functions.
