A 20.0-kg package is dropped from a high tower in still air and is "tracked" by a radar system. When the package is 25 m above t

he ground, the radar tracking indicates that its acceleration is 7.0 m/s2. Determine the force of air resistance on the package.

Answer:

56 N

Explanation:

There are only two forces acting on the package:

- The force of gravity, directed downward, equal to

mg

where m is the mass of the package and g is the acceleration due to gravity

- The air resistance, acting upward, let's label it with R

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the two forces must be equal to the product between the mass, m, and the acceleration, a:

mg-R=ma

where we have:

m = 20.0 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

a = 7.0 m/s^2 is the acceleration when the package is at 25 m above the ground.

Substituting into the equation, we can find the magnitude of the air resistance at that altitude:

R=mg-ma=m(g-a)=(20.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2-7.0 m/s^2)=56 N

Which of the following describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
I think the correct answer is the second option. A circuit describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow. It is a path that an electrical current could flow. A circuit could be a closed one or an open circuit. A closed circuit would be a circuit where the current could flow continuously. An open circuit would be a type of circuit where the flow current would only go once and stopped at a particular point since the current has nowhere to go. For a circuit to work, an electric supply should be available to supply the electric current.

Your friend is wearing a red coat. When white light hits the coat, some light is reflected, and some is absorbed.
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Orange , yellow, green and blue

red coat absorbs all colors of visible light except red, so red light

is the only light left to bounce off of the coat toward our eyes.

The density of a material in CGS system of units is 4g cm-³. In a system of units in which unit of length is 10 cm and unit of m
butalik [34]

\sf\underline{Solution:}

Here , the density of the material is 4g cm³ but it is not given in CGS system.

$\sf{As\:we\:know\:that:}$

$\sf\bold{Density=}$ $\sf\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}$

$\space$

\sf{Now,according \: to \:the\:question:}

$\sf\small{Density\:of\:the\:material=4}$ $\sf\dfrac{g}{cm^2}$

$\space$

$\sf{It\:is\:given\:that:}$

In the system of units the mass is 100gram.

$\space$

Hence,

$\sf{The\:mass\:unit\:for\:4g=}$ $\sf\dfrac{4}{100}$ $\sf{units}$

$\space$

In the system of units,the length is 10cm.

Henceforth,

$\sf\small{The\:length \:for\:1cm\:units=}$ $\sf\dfrac{1}{10}$ $\sf{units}$

$\space$

<u>☆</u><u> </u><u>Substitute</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>required</u><u> </u><u>values</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>given</u><u> </u><u>formula</u><u>-</u>

$\sf\purple{Density=}$ $\sf\dfrac\purple{Mass}\purple{volume}$

$\space$

$\sf\underline\bold{Density\:of\:the\:material:}$

= $\sf\dfrac{4/100}{1/10^3}$ $\sf\bold{units}$

$\space$

= $\sf\dfrac{4/100}{1/1000}$ $\sf\bold{units}$

$\space$

= $\sf\dfrac{4000}{100}$ $\sf\bold{units}$

$\space$

$\sf\underline\bold\blue{=40\:units}$

$\sf\small{Therefore,option\:2nd\:is\:correct!}$
