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

Physics

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

The three components of velocity in a velocity field are given by u = Ax + By + Cz, v = Dx + Ey + Fz, and w = Gx + Hy + Jz. Dete
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The relationship is only between the coefficients A, E and J which is:

A + E + J = 0. The remaining coefficients can be anything without any constraints.

Explanation:

Given:

The three components of velocity is a velocity field are given as:

u = Ax + By + Cz\\\\v = Dx + Ey + Fz\\\\w = Gx + Hy + Jz

The fluid is incompressible.

We know that, for an incompressible fluid flow, the sum of the partial derivatives of each component relative to its direction is always 0. Therefore,

\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0

Now, let us find the partial derivative of each component.

\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial }{\partial x}(Ax+By+Cz)\\\\\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=A+0+0=A\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial }{\partial y}(Dx+Ey+Fz)\\\\\frac{\partial v}{\partial y}=0+E+0=E\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=\frac{\partial }{\partial z}(Gx+Hy+Jz)\\\\\frac{\partial w}{\partial z}=0+0+J=J

Hence, the relationship between the coefficients is:

A+E+J=0

There is no such constraints on other coefficients. So, we can choose any value for the remaining coefficients B, C, D, F, G and H.

Please help.. urgent Which statement is equivalent to Newton's first law? a. 15,300 N b. 1.20*10^3 N c. 2,030 N d. 1,560 N
taurus [48]
According to Newton laws of motion, 
F = m*a
Here, m = 1,560 Kg
a = 1.30 m/s²

Substitute their values, 
F = 1,560 * 1.30
F = 2028 N ~ 2030 N  [ Closest value ]

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!

A copper sphere was moving at 40 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Temperature increase = 2.1 [C]

Explanation:

We need to identify the initial data of the problem.

v = velocity of the copper sphere = 40 [m/s]

Cp = heat capacity = 387 [J/kg*C]

The most important data given is the fact that when the shock occurs kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy, therefore it will have to be:

E_{k}=Q\\ E_{k}= kinetic energy [J]\\Q=thermal energy [J]\\Re-employment values and equalizing equations\\\\\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}=m*C_{p}*dT  \\The masses are canceled \\\\dT=\frac{v^{2}}{C_{p} *2} \\dT=2.1 [C]

A worker pushes a crate horizontally across a warehouse floor with a force of 245 N at an angle of 55 degrees below the horizont
aev [14]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

For exerted by the worker = 245 N

angle made with horizontal = 55°

we need to calculate Force which is not used to move the crate = ?

Movement of crate is due to the horizontal component of the force.

Crate will not move due to vertical force acting on the it.

F_y = F sin \theta

F_y = 245\times sin 55^0

F_y =200.69

hence, worker's force not used to move the crate is equal to 200.69

The correct answer is option A
