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

Physics

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.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 20 cm apart. The sound
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a. Wavelength = λ = 20 cm

b. Next distance of maximum intensity will be 40 cm

Explanation:

a. The distance between the two speakers is 20cm. SInce the intensity is maximum which refers that we have constructive interference and the phase difference must be an even multiple of π and equivalent path difference is nλ.

Now when distance increases upto 30 cm between the speakers, the sound intensity becomes zero which means that there is destructive interference and equivalent path is now increased from nλ to nλ + λ/2.

This we get the equation:

(nλ + λ/2) - nλ = 30-20

λ/2 = 10

λ = 20 cm

b. at what distance, sound intensity will be maximum again.

For next point calculation for maximum sound intensity, the path difference must be increased (n+1) λ. The distance must increase by λ/2 from the point of zero intensity.

= 30 + λ/2

= 30 + 20/2

=30+10

=40 cm
