In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s

uffering only minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 56 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 85 kg, and that the magnitude of the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2×10⁵N.
What are (a) the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely and (b) the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?

Answer:

(a) 1.11 m

(b) 4760 kgm/s  

Explanation:

height of plane (h) = 370 m

velocity (v) = 56 m/s

mass (m) = 85 kg

force = 1.2 x 10^{5} N = 120,000 N

(a) We can get the minimum depth of snow from the equation below

   force x depth = kinetic energy on impact

 f x d = 0.5 x m x v^{2}

 120000 x d = 0.5 x 85 x 56^{2}

 d= (0.5 x 85 x 56^{2}) ÷ 120000 = 1.11 m

(b) the magnitude of impulse is equal to the momentum of the paratrooper and his gear

 = m x v

= 85 x 56 = 4760 kgm/s

find the average velocity of a bicycle that starts 100km south and is 120km south of town after 0.4 hours​
dusya [7]

Answer:

The average velocity is 50 km/h south

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by

the total time taken.

That means it is the rate at which an object changes its position from

one place to another.

Average velocity is a vector quantity.

The SI unit is meters per second.

A bicycle that starts 100 km south and is 120 km south of town after

0.4 hour​.

The displacement = 120 - 100 = 20 km south

The time = 0.4 hour

The average velocity = \frac{D}{T}, where D is the displacement

and t is the time

The average velocity of the bicycle = \frac{20}{0.4}=50 km/h

<em>The average velocity is 50 km/h south</em>

If you want it in meter per second, change the kilometer to meter

and change the hour to seconds

1 km = 1000 m

1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds

The average velocity of the bicycle = \frac{50(1000)}{3600}=13.89 m/s south

Problem 21-40a:
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Part a)

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}

Part b)

q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C

Explanation:

As we know that electric force on electric charge is given as

F = qE

here we have

q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}C

E = 153 N/C

now force is given as

F = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(153) = 2.45 \times 10^{-17} N

Gravitational force on electric charge near surface of earth is given as

F_g = mg

F_g = (9.1 \times 10^{-31})(9.81) = 8.93 \times 10^[-30} N

now the ratio of two forces is given as

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = \frac{2.45 \times 10^{-17}}{8.93 \times 10^{-30}}

\frac{F_e}{F_g} = 2.74 \times 10^{12}

Part b)

Now the ball is balanced by the electric force and the force of gravity on it

so here we have

F_g = qE

mg = qE

(5.25 \times 10^{-3})(9.81) = q(153)

here we have

q = 3.37 \times 10^{-4} C

In the chemical equation above, the small number after the O in 1202 represent —
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

G.) The number atoms of that element in the molecule

Explanation:

F is incorrect because the coefficient represents the amount of one type of molecule, not the subscript

G is correct because subscripts represent how many atoms of that element are present in that single molecule

H is incorrect because energy is not represented in this simple type of equation

J is incorrect because it doesn't even make sense

Explain how you can use the factors of production to produce a fruit juice in a production company
frozen [14]

Answer:

The factors of production include Land, Labour, Capital and Enterpreneurship

Explanation:

The fruit could be apple, orange , pineapple etc which are usually grown on land . They are tended to by people to ensure there is maximum yield. These people provide the required labour needed.

The cost of planting and payment of workers usually comes from the capital which is often used in running the business by the owner which makes certain decisions to ensure the fruit company is in place. All these factors work hand in hand to ensure production of fruit in a production company is possible.
