The terminal velocity of a person falling in air depends upon the weight and the area of the person facing the fluid.

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

Pavel [41]

Answer: A.The ocean is colder than the land

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, we are informed that Agustin visits Panama City, Florida, during the month of May and that he feels a shore breeze blowing from the ocean onto the beach.

The reason for the shore breeze is simply due to the fact that the ocean is colder than the land. Since the ocean is colder, anyone who goes to the beach will feel the breeze.

our iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave pr
Elena-2011 [213]

wavelength of the EM  wave produced by your iclicker is 0.33 m.

<h3>What makes an EM wave?</h3>
  • When an electric field (illustrated in red arrows) combines with a magnetic field, electromagnetic waves are generated (which is shown in blue arrows). An electromagnetic wave's magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular to each other and to the wave's direction.
  • A changing magnetic field causes a changing electric field, and vice versa—the two are inextricably related. Electromagnetic waves are created by changing fields. Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, do not require a medium to propagate.

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is

f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ,  is given by

fλ = v

λ = v/f

  = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)

  = 1/3 m = 0.333 m

An ant crawls along a sidewalk with a velocity of 0.1 m/s in a direction that is 45 degrees relative to the edge of the sidewalk
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

C) 1.0 m

Explanation:

The component of the velocity parallel to the sidewalk is:

vₓ = v cos θ

vₓ = 0.1 m/s cos 45°

vₓ = 0.0707 m/s

The distance traveled after 14 seconds is:

d = vₓ t

d = (0.0707 m/s) (14 s)

d = 0.99 m

Closest answer is C) 1.0 m.
