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.

A series RL circuit includes a 6.05 V 6.05 V battery, a resistance of R = 0.655 Ω , R=0.655 Ω, and an inductance of L = 2.55 H.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The induced emf 1.43 s after the circuit is closed is 4.19 V

Explanation:

The current equation in LR circuit is :

I=\frac{V}{R} (1-e^{\frac{-Rt}{L} })    .....(1)

Here I is current, V is source voltage, R is resistance, L is inductance and t is time.

The induced emf is determine by the equation :

V_{e}=L\frac{dI}{dt}

Differentiating equation (1) with respect to time and put in above equation.

V_{e}= L\times\frac{V}{R}\times\frac{R}{L}e^{\frac{-Rt}{L} }

V_{e}=Ve^{\frac{-Rt}{L} }

Substitute 6.05 volts for V, 0.655 Ω for R, 2.55 H for L and 1.43 s for t in the above equation.

V_{e}=6.05e^{\frac{-0.655\times1.43}{2.55} }

V_{e}=4.19\ V

A newly discovered planet has the same mass as the Earth, but a person standing on the surface of the planet experiences a force
Dafna11 [192]

This question deals with the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet. The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of two planets, that is Earth and on the surface of another planet are compared to find out the relation between the radii of both planets, provided their masses are the same.

The correct option for the radius of the new planet is "Option 3: Square Root of 3 R"

The value of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a planet is given by the following formula:

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}----------- eqn(1)

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M = mass of the Earth

R = Radius of the Earth

Now, the same formula for the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the other planet can be written as follows:

g' = \frac{GM'}{R'}\\\\------------- eqn(2)

where,

g' = acceleration due to gravity on the new planet

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

M' = mass of the new planet

R' = Radius of the new planet

According to the given condition, the new planet has the same mass as the Earth's mass but the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the new planet is one-third of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth.

M'=M\\\\g'=\frac{1}{3}g

using eqn (1) and eqn (2):

\frac{GM}{R'^2}=\frac{1}{3}\frac{GM}{R^2}\\\\R'^2=3R^2\\\\R' = \sqrt{3}R

Hence, the radius of the new planet is found to be equal to the square root of 3 times the radius of the Earth (Square Root of 3 R).

A race card drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length. How is this displacement different from the distanc
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Distance is 500 m, displacement is 0

Explanation:

Distance and displacement are defined in two different ways:

- Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object in motion - so it depends on the path taken. In this problem, the distance travelled by the car corresponds to the length of one lap, which is the length of the track, so 500 m

- Displacement is the distance in a straight line between the final point and the initial point of the motion. This means that displacement does not depend on the path taken, but only on the starting and ending point of the motion. In this problem, the car completes one lap, so the final position of the car is equal to its starting position - therefore the displacement is zero, since the distance between these two points is zero.

Calculate the tension on the rope.<br> A. 57.89 N<br> B. 32.73 N<br> C. 69.84 N<br> D. 12.55 N
Ratling [72]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{B. 32.73N}}

To calculate the tension, we must calculate the acceleration of the system.

Begin with a summation of forces:

∑F = -M₁gsinФ + T - T + M₂g

Simplify and solve for acceleration: (Tensions cancel out)

a = \frac{-M_1gsin\theta + T - T + M_2g}{M_1+M_2}

Plug in values. Let g = 10 m/s²

a = \frac{-3(10)(sin30)+8(10)}{3+8} = 5.91 m/s^{2}

Now, to find tension, let's sum up the forces acting on ONE block. For simplicity, we can look at the hanging block:

∑F = -T + W

ma = -T + W

Rearrange to solve for T:

T = W - ma

We know the acceleration, so plug in the values:

T = (8)(10) - (8)(5.91) = 32.73 N

A vessel of 0.25 m3 capacity is filled with saturated steam at 1500 kPa. If the vessel is cooled until 25% of the steam has cond
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

the final pressure is P=353.5 kPa and the heat lost by the system (heat transferred) is Q= -3614.7327 kJ ( negative sign means heat outflow)

Explanation:

since the steam is at saturated state at 1500 kPa , from tables of saturated steam  

at P= 1500 kPa → specific volume v= 0.13225 m³/kg , ug=2593.3 kJ/kg

thus

m = V/v = 0.25 m³ / 0.13225 m³/kg = 1.89 kg

for condensation until 25% of steam, then mass of steam is

mg₂ = 0.25* 1.89 kg = 0.4725 kg

if we neglect the volume occupied by the liquid , then the steam occupies

v₂ = V/m = 0.25 m³ / 0.4725 kg =0.529 m³/kg

returning to the saturated steam table

at v₂=0.529 m³/kg →  353.5 kPa , uL₂= 584.1585 kJ/kg , ug₂= 2548.4965 kJ/kg

then from the first law of thermodynamics

ΔU= Q - W , but since V=constant , dV=0 and W=∫PdV =0

Q= ΔU

Q= (mg₂*ug₂+ml₂*uL₂) - (m*ug) = 1.89 kg* (0.25*2548.4965 kJ/kg + 0.75*584.1585 kJ/kg - 2593.3 kJ/kg) = -3614.7327 kJ
