Answer:

2,500 feet (760 meters)

Explannation: <em>At about 2,500 feet (760 meters), the skydiver throws out a pilot chute, and it deploys the parachute. Its used to control the fall rate.</em>

A small block with a mass of 0.120 kg is attached to a cord passing through a hole in a frictionless, horizontal surface (Fig. 6

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

a) 0.147 N

b) 9.408 N

c) 9.261 N

Explanation:

The tension on the cord is the only force keeping the block in circular motion, thus representing the entirety of its centripetal force $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ . Plugging in values for initial and final states and we get answers for a and b. The work done by the person causes the centripetal force to increase, and thus is the difference between the final tension and the initial tension.

A ball is dropped from an aircraft flying at an altitude of 8,848 meters assuming gravity is 9.8m/s what is the total amount of

Dafna11 [192]

In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).

The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)

d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s

Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)

Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)

Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s

So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.

I hope this helps :)

Two toy cars (m1 = 0.200 kg and m2 = 0.250 kg) are held together rear to rear with a compressed spring between them. When they a

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Acceleration of the second particle at that moment is given as

$a_2 = 2.12 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As we know that both cars are connected by same spring

So on this system of two cars there is no external force

So we will have

$F = 0 = m_1a_1 + m_2a_2$

now we have

$m_1 = 0.200 kg$

$m_2 = 0.250 kg$

$a_1 = 2.65 m/s^2$

now we have

$0.200(2.65) + 0.250a_2 = 0$

so we have

$a_2 = 2.12 m/s^2$

A carbon resistor is to be used as a thermometer. On a winter day when the temperature is 4.00°C, the resistance of the carbon r

dusya [7]

Answer:

28 degree C

Explanation:

We are given that

$T_1=4.00^{\circ}$

$R_1=217.7 \Ohm$

$R_2=215.1\Ohm$

$\alpha=-5.00\times 10^{-4}C^{-1}$

We have to find the temperature on a spring day when resistance is 215.1 ohm.

We know that

$\alpha(T_2-T_1)=\frac{R_2}{R_2}-1$

Using the formula

$-5.00\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=\frac{215.1}{217.7}-1$

$-5\times 10^{-4}(T_2-4)=0.988-1=-0.012$

$T_2-4=\frac{0.012}{5\times 10^{-4}}=24$

$T_2=24+4=28^{\circ}C$

Hence, the temperature on a spring day 28 degree C.

sammy [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$R_1 = 0.072 m$

Part b)

$R_2 = 0.036 m$

Part c)

d = 0.072 m

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the radius of the charge particle in constant magnetic field is given by

$R = \frac{mv}{qB}$

now for single ionized we have

$R_1 = \frac{(4.39\times 10^{-27})(7.92 \times 10^5)}{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.301)}$

$R_1 = 0.072 m$

Part b)

Similarly for doubly ionized ion we will have the same equation

$R = \frac{mv}{qB}$

$R_2 = \frac{(4.39\times 10^{-27})(7.92 \times 10^5)}{(3.2 \times 10^{-19})(0.301)}$

$R_2 = 0.036 m$

Part c)

The distance between the two particles are half of the loop will be given as

$d = 2(R_1 - R_2)$

$d = 2(0.072 - 0.036)$

$d = 0.072 m$
