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>

What is the Sl unit for speed
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: meter per second

Explanation: meter per second

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.

A ball starts from rest and undergoes uniform acceleration of 2.50m/s^2. What is the velocity of the ball 4s later?
erica [24]

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 2.50 m/s²

t = 4 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (2.50 m/s²) (4 s) + 0 m/s

v = 10 m/s

A horizontal compass is placed 21 cm due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 36 a current downward. in what direction
Anit [1.1K]

 <span>
The needle of a compass will always lies along the magnetic field lines of the earth. 
A magnetic declination at a point on the earth’s surface equal to zero implies that 
the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field line at that specific point lies along 
the line of the north-south magnetic poles. </span>

The presence of a current-carrying wire creates an additional <span>
magnetic field that combines with the earth’s magnetic field. Since magnetic 
<span>fields are vector quantities, therefore the magnetic field of the earth and the magnetic field of the vertical wire must be combined vectorially. </span></span>

<span>
Where:</span>

B1 = magnetic field of the earth along the x-axis = 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

B2 = magnetic field due to the straight vertical wire along the y-axis

We can calculate for B2 using Amperes Law:

B2 = μ₀ i / [ 2 π R ]

B2 = [ 4π × 10 ⁻ ⁷ T • m / A ] ( 36 A ) / [ 2 π (0.21 m ) ] <span>
B2 = 5.97 × 10 ⁻ ⁵ T = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T </span>

The angle can be calculated using tan function:<span>
tan θ = y / x = B₂ / B₁ = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T / 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T <span>
tan θ = 1.326</span></span>

θ = 53°

<span>
<span>The compass needle points along the direction of 53° west of north.</span></span>
