how do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate

1 answer:

3 0

While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

Which person will most likely hear the loudest sound?

Nataliya [291]

Person standing on A will hear the loudest sound

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound wave (which is proportional to the loudness of the sound) follows an inverse square law, which is:

$I\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

where

I is the intensity of the wave

r is the distance from the source of the sound

This equation means that the intensity of the sound wave (and therefore, its loudness) is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source: therefore,

As we get closer to the source of sound, the loudness increases
As we move away from the source of sound, the loudness decreases

Therefore, the person that will hear the loudest sound is the one standing closer to the source, and therefore person A.

A 6.0 m section of wire carries a current of 5.2 A from east to west in the earth's magnetic field of 1.0 × 105 T at a location

NNADVOKAT [17]

Well, since you only want direction, ignore the numbers. Use the right hand rule.
Current (pointer finger) points west (left).
Magnetic field (middle finger) points south (towards you).
Force (thumb) then points up (away from the earth)

The Orion nebula is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the sky (look for it in the winter, just below the three bright star

Oxana [17]

Answer:

T=183.21K

Explanation:

We have to take into account that the system is a ideal gas. Hence, we have the expression

$PV=nRT$

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, T is the temperature and R is the ideal gas constant.

Thus, it is necessary to calculate n and V

V is the volume of a sphere

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi (5.9*10^{15}m)^3=8.602*10^{47}m^3$

V=8.86*10^{50}L

and for n

$n=\frac{(4000M_s)/(2*mH)}{6.022*10^{23}mol^{-1}}=3.95*10^{36}mol$

Hence, we have (1 Pa = 9.85*10^{-9}atm)

$T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{(6.8*10^{-9}*9.85*10^{-6}atm)(8.86*10^{50}L)}{(0.0820\frac{atm*L}{mol*K})(3.95*10^{36}mol)}\\\\T=183.21K$

hope this helps!!

In hydrogen, the transition from level 2 to level 1 has a rest wavelength of 121.6 nm.1).Find the speed for a star in which this

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1). $v = - 2960526m/s$

2). Toward us

3). $v = - 493421m/s$

4). Toward us

5). $v = 1480263m/s$

6). Away from us

7). $v = 3207236m/s$

8). Away from us

Explanation:

Spectral lines will be shifted to the blue part of the spectrum if the source of the observed light is moving toward the observer, or to the red part of the spectrum when it is moving away from the observer (that is known as the Doppler effect).

The wavelength at rest is 121.6 nm ( $\lambda_{0} = 121.6nm$ )
