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

How does the configuration of the electric field occur between a "parallel plate" setup in a lab?What is the effect of conductor
sleet_krkn [62]

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is given by

E = -ΔV/d

minus sign indicates Potential decreases in the direction of electric field

where

ΔV is the potential difference between the plates

D is the distance between the plates.

The work done when carrying an electrical charge on an equipotential surface between one position to the other is zero W= q(V-V)=0 The electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.  That conductor in an equipotential surface as direction E is at right angles to an eauipotential surface The intensity of the electric field along an equipotential surface is always zero. Equipotential surfaces never collide with each other as this would mean that at that point, there are two alternative values that are not true.

Which of the following is proportional to the net external force acting on a body?
swat32
Well, Velocity is the speed of something in a given direction, and speed is the rate at which someone or something is able to more or operate. They both invlove speed, so this is a hard one, but I wold say either B or D

Which plate is covering most of two continents ? what two continents?
ololo11 [35]
The plate that is covering most of the two continents is the Eurasian plate.
The continents are <span><span>
1. </span><span> Europe</span></span> <span><span>
2. </span><span> Asia</span></span>
The Eurasian plate is a tectonic plate that amasses the whole continent of what others call as “Eruasia”. It takes part of the oceanic crust that starts from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and extends itself to northward of the Gakkel Ridge. The size of this plate is for about 67,800,000 km according to statistics and geography.
