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

Why is this statement false?
koban [17]

The statement is false because as the temperature of water is decreased from 4C to 0C, <em>expansion</em> occurs.

You should understand that this is very weird behavior for any compound ... within a small temperature range, the stuff actually gets bigger as it gets colder.  That's why cubes float in your sody, and bergs float in the ocean.

Water is one of only two known substances that do this.  And if water didn't do it, then life on Earth would not be possible.  

Hmmm....

A go kart is traveling at a constant 13.8 meters per second around a horizontal circular track with a radius of 42.0 meters. The
Ivan

Answer:

648.40N

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration of an object around a circular path. Centripetal for e acting on the combined mass is expressed as:

F = ma

F = mv²/r

m is the mass of the object = 143kg

v is the linear velocity = 13.8m/s

r is the radius = 42.0m

Substitute the given parameters into the formula;

F = 143*13.8²/42

F = 27,232.92/42

F = 648.40N

Hence the magnitude of the centripetal force acting on the combined mass is 648.40N

A fall thrown vertically upwards with a speed
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Height of tower = 480 meter

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach ground = 8 second

So,

Final velocity = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

Find:

Height of tower

Computation:

s = ut + (1/2)(g)(t)²

s = (20)(8) + (1/2)(10)(8)²

s = 160 + (1/2)(10)(64)

s = 160 + (10)(32)

s = 160 + 320

s = 480 meter

Height of tower = 480 meter
