Which of the following observations indicates that an object is falling at terminal velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
vitfil [10]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:  D

Explanation:

When an object falls gravity is pulling down on it and is picking up speed, but as it gains speed air resistance becomes a faster. Air resistance increases with speed. And that force keeps it from accelerating eventually the object will pick up speed such that the force due to air resistance will keep it from getting any more speed at that point force due to air resistance is equal to its weight (mg) and the net force is equal to zero so it won’t accelerate any more at that point it is said to be moving in terminal velocity.

When an object has reached terminal velocity, it will have a constant velocity

Suppose a car traveling at 8m/s is brought to rest in a distance of 20m.what is it's deceleration and time taken.
LiRa [457]

Answer:

         Time - taken = 2.5 s

          deceleration= -8 m/s²

Solution:

            Given:

                     speed, v = 8 m/s

                 distance, d = 20m

                     

              To Find:

                     deacceleration = ?

               

               As we know speed is defined as

                          v = d/t

                plugging in the values

                          t =  20/ 8

                          t = 2.5s

                Now from deceleration formula

                        a =  - v/ t

                        a = - 20/ 2.5

                        a = - 8 m/s²

          Thus, the time taken and acceleration is 2.5 s and -8 m/s²

          respectively.

Energy is released during the fission of pu-239 atoms as a result of the
pav-90 [236]
<h2>Answer: process of converting matter into energy</h2><h2></h2>

Nuclear fission consists of dividing a heavy nucleus into two or more lighter or smaller nuclei, by means of the bombardment with neutrons to make it unstable. In this process that takes place in the atomic nucleus, neutrons, gamma rays and <u>large amounts of energy are emitted.  </u>

Then, with this division a great release of energy occurs and the emission of two or three neutrons, other particles and gamma rays.  

This means fission is a process in which energy is released by  the separation of the components of the nucleous of the atom.

In other words:

<h2>Matter is converted to energy .</h2>

Two locomotives approach each other on parallel track. Each has speed of 95 km/h with respect to the ground.If they are initiall
irinina [24]

Answer:

It will take 2.68 minutes for them to reach each other.

Explanation:

We use the two following kinematic equations, making the final position the same (for the moment they meet each other):

locomotive 1 -->  x_f=v*t

locomotive 2 -->  x_f=8.5\,-\,v*t

we make the two xf equal, and solve for the time (t) using v = 95 km/h:

95*t=8.5-95*t\\2*95*t=8.5\\t=8.5/(190)\\t = 0.0447\,\,hours

converting the hours into minutes by multiplying this value times 60;

t = 2.68 minutes
