The terminal speed of a sky diver is 130 km/h in the spread-eagle position and 326 km/h in the nosedive position. Assuming that

the diver's drag coefficient C does not change from one position to the other, find the ratio of the effective cross-sectional area A in the slower position to that in the faster position.

Answer:

\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885

Explanation:

Given data

Terminal velocity for spread eagle position vt=130 km/h

Terminal velocity for nosedive position vt=326 km/h

The terminal speed of the diver is given by

v_{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{CpA} }

Therefore the area is given by

A=\frac{2mg}{Cp(v_{t})^{2}  }\\

Since everything else is constant in the two dives except for the terminal velocity, the ratio between the area in the slow position to the area in the fast position is

\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=\frac{326^{2} }{130^{2} }\\\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885

A ferry approaches shore, moving north with a speed of 6.2 m/s relative to the dock. A person on the ferry walks from one side o
jasenka [17]

Speed of Ferry is towards North with magnitude 6.2 m/s

Here if we assume that North direction is along Y axis and East is along X axis then we can say

\vec v_f = 6.2 \hat j

Now a person walk on ferry with speed 1.5 m/s towards east with respect to Ferry

so it is given as

\vec v_{pf} = 1.5 \hat i

also by the concept of relative motion we know that

\vec v_{pf} = \vec v_p - \vec v_f

now plug in all values in it

1.5 \hat i = \vec v_p - 6.2 \hat j

\vec v_p = 1.5 \hat i + 6.2 \hat j

now if we need to find the speed of the person then we need to find its magnitude

so it is given as

v = \sqrt{1.5^2 + 6.2^2}

v = 6.37 m/s

You skip north for 12 minutes to your best friend's house that is 1.5 kilometers away. What is your average velocity?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60  hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h

A 0.20-kg object is attached to the end of an ideal horizontal spring that has a spring constant of 120 N/m. The simple harmonic
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

0.07756 m

Explanation:

Given mass of object =0.20 kg

spring constant = 120 n/m

maximum speed = 1.9 m/sec

We have to find the amplitude of the motion

We know that maximum speed of the object when it is in harmonic motion is given by v_{max}=A\omega where A is amplitude and \omega is angular velocity

Angular velocity is given by \omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}  where k is spring constant and m is mass

So v_{max}=A\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

A=V_{max}\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=1.9\times \sqrt{\frac{0.2}{120}}=0.07756 \ m
