Answer:

The terminal velocity of the diver is 115 m/s = 414 km/hr

Explanation:

At terminal velocity,

Fnet = mg - Fd = 0

Drag force, Fd = cρAv²/2

mg = cρAv²/2

Terminal Velocity of a body falling through a fluid as in a diver falling through air is given by

v = √(2mg/ρcA)

where m = mass of body falling through fluid = 80 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

ρ = density fluid, density of air, as obtained from literature = 1.21 kg/m³

c = coefficient of drag friction of diver falling through air, as obtained from literature = 0.7

A = the area of the diver facing the fluid = 0.14 m²

v = √(2mg/ρcA) = √((2 × 80 × 9.8)/(1.21 × 0.7 × 0.14)) = 115 m/s = 115 × (3600/1000) km/hr = 414 km/hr

4- Protein foods?? pls answer these i really need these

vampirchik [111]

The #1 answer would be meats and eggs. But, as a veggan, I present you with meatless protien-rich food!

1 - Pea protein (used in Beyond Meat, which tastes just like meat btw!)

2 - Soy protein such as tofu

3 - Nuts

4 - Beans! oml so many beans have MORE protien than meat!! ikr!?!?

may I have Brainliest pls =)

A mass weighting 16 lbs stretches a spring 3 inches. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 20 lbs when the

Answer:

The equation for the object's displacement is $u(t)=0.583cos11.35t$

Explanation:

Given:

m = 16 lb

δ = 3 in

The stiffness is:

$k=\frac{m}{\delta } =\frac{16}{3} =5.33lb/in$

The angular speed is:

$w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{5.33*386.4}{16} } =11.35rad/s$

The damping force is:

$F_{D} =cu$

Where

FD = 20 lb

u = 4 ft/s = 48 in/s

Replacing:

$c=\frac{F_{D} }{u} =\frac{20}{48} =0.42lbs/in$

The critical damping is equal:

$c_{c} =\frac{2k}{w} =\frac{2*5.33}{11.35} =0.94lbs/in$

Like cc>c the system is undamped

The equilibrium expression is:

$u(t)=u(o)coswt+u'(o)sinwt\\u(o)=7=0.583\\u'(o)=0\\u(t)=0.583coswt\\u(t)=0.583cos11.35t$
