Schach [20]3 years ago
4 0

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^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

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^{-7J

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

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^{-7J
