No, the skydiver does not start moving upward. Yes, initially the air drag is stronger than the weight, and so there is a net force pushing upward, and the result of this force (because of F=ma) is a deceleration of the skydiver (because the force goes against the direction of motion). However, the air drag is proportional to v^2, the square of the velocity. Thus, as the velocity of the skydiver decreases, so does the air drag, and eventually the air drag becomes smaller than the weight. So the skydiver continues his motion towards the ground.

An orbiting satellite can become charged by the photoelectric effect when sunlight ejects electrons from its outer surface. Sate
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

Explanation:

Given data

Φ = 5.32 eV

to find out

the longest wavelength

solution

we know that

hf = k(maximum) +Ф   ...............1

here we consider k(maximum ) will be zero because photon wavelength max when low photon energy

so hf = 0

and hc/ λ = +Ф

so λ = hc/Ф  ................2

now put value hc = 1240 ev nm and Φ = 5.32 eV

so hc = 1240 / 5.32

hc = 233 nm

the longest wavelength of incident sunlight that can eject an electron from the platinum is 233 nm

A steel pipe of 12-in. outer diameter is fabricated from 1 4 -in.-thick plate by welding along a helix that forms an angle of 25
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Normal stress = 66/62.84 = 1.05kips/in²

shearing stress  = T/2 = 0.952/2 = 0.476 kips/in²

Explanation:

A steel pipe of 12-in. outer diameter  d₂ =12in  d₁= 12 -4in = 8in

4 -in.-thick  

angle of 25°

Axial force P = 66 kip axial force

determine the normal and shearing stresses

Normal stress б = force/area = P/A

           = 66/ (П* (d₂²-d₁²)/4

           =66/ (3.142* (12²-8²)/4

          = 66/62.84 = 1.05kips/in²

Tangential stress T = force* cos ∅/area = P/A

           = 66* cos 25/ (П* (d₂²-d₁²)/4

           =59.82/ (3.142* (12²-8²)/4

          = 59.82/62.84 = 0.952kips/in²

shearing stress  = tangential stress /2

                           = T/2 = 0.952/2 = 0.476 kips/in²

kari74 [83]

The answers to your questions are as written below:

  • The objects that represents a negatively charged particle is : Image B
  • The object that represents a positively charged molecule is : Image A
  • The object that represents an uncharged molecule is : Image C
  • The object the will not move when in an electric fied is : Image C

<h3>Different types of charges molecules</h3>

A negatively charged molecule move inwards when placed in an electric field while positively charged molecule placed in a electric field will move outwards the electric field.

A neutral/uncharged molecule will remains still when placd in an elctric field due to the absence of charges.

Hence we can concude that the answers to your questions are as listed above.
