If there is no air resistance and the body, in this case the sky diver simply falls from the helicopter then, the motion can be described as a free-falling body. The equation that would allow us to determine the speed of the body at any time, t is,

<span>                                    v(t)  = vo + gt</span>

<span>where v(t) is the unknown velocity, vo is the initial velocity which is equal to zero and g is the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s2.</span>

Substituting the known values,

<span>                                    v(t) = 0 + (9.8 m/s2)(12s)</span>

<span>                                                v(t) = 117.6 m/s</span>

<span>Hence, the speed of the sky diver at the end of 12 second is approximately 117.6 m/s.  </span>

A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0
otez555 [7]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A box of oranges which weighs 83 N is being pushed across a horizontal floor. As it moves, it is slowing at a constant rate of 0.90 m/s each second. The push force has a horizontal component of 20 N and a vertical component of 25 N downward. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

    F_{1} = 20 N, F_{2} = 25 N, a = -0.9 m/s^{2}

             W = 83 N

         m = \frac{83}{9.81}

             = 8.46

Now, we will balance the forces along the y-component as follows.

       N = W + F_{2}

           = 83 + 25 = 108 N

Now, balancing the forces along the x component as follows.

       F_{1} - F_{r} = ma

        20 - F_{r} = 8.46 \times (-0.9)

             F_{r} = 7.614 N

Also, we know that relation between force and coefficient of friction is as follows.

             F_{r} = \mu \times N

          \mu = \frac{F_{r}}{N}

                    = \frac{7.614}{108}

                    = 0.0705

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the floor is 0.0705.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Cardiac Arrest, burns, and nerve damage.

Explanation:

Basically, the main risk is cardiac arrest, caused by the electric current interfering with the normal operation of the heart muscle. Other possible damages are burns due to the electric energy vaporizing the water inside the cells, and nerve damage caused by excessive current through the nerves.

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 107 m/s to 4.0 × 107 m/s over a distance
jeka94

Answer:

1.8\times 105 N/C

Explanation:

We are given that

u=2\times 10^7 m/s

v=4\times 10^7 m/s

d=1.9 cm=\frac{1.9}{100}=0.019 m

Using 1m=100 cm

We have to find the electric field strength.

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2a(0.019)

16\times 10^{14}-4\times 10^{14}=0.038a

0.038a=12\times 10^{14}

a=\frac{12}{0.038}\times 10^{14}=3.16\times 10^{16}m/s^2

q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

Mass of electron,m=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg

E=\frac{ma}{q}

Substitute the values

E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.16\times 10^{16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E=1.8\times 105 N/C
