A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter. A few seconds later, another diver jumps out, so they both fall along the same ve

rtical line relative to the helicopter. Both divers fall with the same acceleration. Does the vertical distance between them a) increase, b) decrease or, c) stay the same? Does the difference in their velocities d)increase e) decrease or, f)stay the same? (the answer is (a) and (f) but how does the distance increase if their acceleration is the same?

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

s_2 = gt^2/2

s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2

v_2 = gt

v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)

Their difference in distance are therefore:

\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2

\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)

\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t) (AsA^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)

\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt

\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.

Answer:

The velocity of the first diver is always more than the velocity of the second diver hence more distance covered by the first diver over the same time

Explanation:

In free fall

v^2 = u^2 + 2×g×S

If the initial velocity of the first diver = final velocity of the second diver then

v-u = constant

That means

S or distance between them is

= (v^2-u^2)/(2×g)

= (v+u)×(v-u)÷(2×g)

S = k×(v+u) where k = constant

Thus as v and u increases the distance between the two divers S increase

What is the largest four subsystems?​
AnnZ [28]

Explanation:

Everything in Earth's system can be placed into one of four major subsystems: land, water, living things, or air. These four subsystems are called "spheres." Specifically, they are the "lithosphere" (land), "hydrosphere" (water), "biosphere" (living things), and "atmosphere" (air).

1. The basic building block of matter are atoms. Every atom is basically a tiny sphere. Every atom is composed of 2 regions, the
Bogdan [553]

The answers would be:

1. Electron cloud

2. Electrons, Electrons, Electrons

3. Nucleus, nucleus

4. Protons, protons

5. Neutrons, Neutrons

6. Direct, direct.

7. Inverse, inverse

8. No relationship, no relationship

9. Experimental control

10. Controlled variables

Here is more about the question:

An atom has 3 subatomic particles:

Proton: positively charged particles

Electron: Negatively charged particles

Neutrons: Neutrally charged particles

The nucleus is made up of the protons and neutrons, while the electrons are found outside, within the electron cloud.

Electrons are very important in bonding. It is also heavily involved in electricity. Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor.

Relationships in a graph:

For direct relationships, you just need to remember, when one goes up, the other one goes up too.

Inverse relationships on the other hand, when one goes up the other goes down.

If no change occurs, then we can say that there is no relationship.

A bucket of water of mass 10 kg is pulled at constant velocity up to a platform 30 meters above the ground. This takes 10 minute
Rudik [331]

Answer:

W = 2352 J

Explanation:

Given that:

  • mass of the bucket, M = 10 kg
  • velocity of pulling the bucket, v = 3m.min^{-1}
  • height of the platform, h = 30 m
  • time taken, t = 10 min
  • rate of loss of water-mass, m = 0.4 kg.min^{-1}

Here, according to the given situation the bucket moves at the rate,

v=3 m.min^{-1}

The mass varies with the time as,

M=(10-0.4t) kg

Consider the time interval between t and t + ∆t. During this time the bucket moves a distance

∆x =  3∆t meters

So, during this interval change in work done,

∆W = m.g∆x

<u>For work calculation:</u>

W=\int_{0}^{10} [(10-0.4t).g\times 3] dt

W= 3\times 9.8\times [10t-\frac{0.4t^{2}}{2}]^{10}_{0}

W= 2352 J

A vector has a magnitude of 82 m
pentagon [3]

The Y-component of the vector is 34.65 m.

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction.

The Y-component of the vector can be calculated using the formula below.

Formula:

  • Y = rsin∅............. Equation 1

Where:

  • Y = Y-component of the vector
  • r = magnitude of the vector
  • ∅ = angle of the vector to the horizontal.

From the question,

Given:

  • r = 82 m
  • ∅ = 25°

Substitute these given values into equation 1

  • Y = 82(sin25°)
  • Y = 34.65 m

Hence, The Y-component of the vector is 34.65 m.
