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

Physics

5 0

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

a system that uses reflected radio waves to detect objects and to measure their distance and speed is called
viktelen [127]
Such system is called RADAR (<span>RAdio </span>Detection<span> And Ranging).

The Radar emits radio waves, that are reflected back by the object. Since the speed of the radio waves is known (their speed is equal to the speed of light), by measuring the time the waves take to come back to the source it is possible to infer the distance they covered, and so the distance of the object.</span>

Two stretched copper wires both experience the same stress. The first wire has a radius of 3.9×10-3 m and is subject to a stretc
maw [93]

The stretching force acting on the second wire, given the data is 588 N

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Radius of fist wire (r₁) = 3.9×10⁻³ m
  • Force of first wire (F₁) = 450 N
  • Radius of second wire (r₂) = 5.1×10⁻³ m
  • Force of second wire (F₂) =?

<h3>How to determine the force of the second wire</h3>

F₁ / r₁ = F₂ / r₂

450 / 3.9×10⁻³ = F₂ / 5.1×10⁻³

cross multiply

3.9×10⁻³ × F₂ = 450 × 5.1×10⁻³

Divide both side by 3.9×10⁻³

F₂ = (450 × 5.1×10⁻³) / 3.9×10⁻³

F₂ = 588 N
