Answer: Air resistance and/or drag.

Explanation: The parachute adds drag to the parachutist, thus making him fall slower and safely to the ground.

A car is initially moving at 20 m/s east and a little while later it is moving at 10 m/s north. Which of the following best desc

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

First car is moving towards east with velocity 20 m/s

$\vec{v_1}=20\hat{i}$

then it turns towards north then velocity is

$\vec{v_2}=10\hat{j}$

suppose car takes t sec to change its path so average acceleration is given by

$a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t}$

$a=\frac{1}{t}(10\hat{j}-20\hat{i})$

So average acceleration is towards North of west.

n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at

Volgvan

Answer:

a)-1.014x $10^{-7$ J

b)3.296 x $10^{-7$ J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

$U_{i$ = -GMaMb/ d

$U_{i$ = - 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x $10^{-7$ J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and $U_{i$ =-1.014x $10^{-7$ J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

$K_{i$ + $U_{i$ = $K_{f$ + $U_{f$

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore $K_{i$ is zero

$U_{i$ = $K_{f$ + $U_{f$

The final potential energy is

$U_{f$ = - GMaMb/d

Solving for ' $K_{f$ '

$K_{f$ = $U_{i$ + GMaMb/d => -1.014x $10^{-7$ + 6.67 x $10^{-11}$ x 47 x 110/ 0.8

$K_{f$ = 3.296 x $10^{-7$ J
