A bungee jumper falls 97.2 feet before bouncing back up at the end of his bungee cord. Then he falls 64.8 feet before bouncing u

p again. On his third descent, he falls 43.2 feet before going back up. What is the total distance the bungee jumper drops after five falls if the distances continue in this pattern? (Do not include the distance traveled up.) A)234.0 ft. B)253.2 ft. C)789.8 ft. D)1,281.8 ft

The answer is letter B. 

The solution is as follows:
97.2 ft/ x = 64.8 ft
97.2 / 64.8 = x
x = 1.5

Divide 97.2 by x 4 times and we have the following data:
1st fall = 97.2 ft
2nd fall = 64.8 ft
3rd fall =  43.2 ft
4th fall =  28.8 ft
5th fall =  19.2 ft
Total distance of falls = 253.2 ft

<h2>Option C is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Gravitational force is given by

                  F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

         G=6.674×10⁻¹¹ m³⋅kg⁻¹⋅s⁻²

         M = Mass of object 1

          m = mass of object 2

          r = Distance between objects.

Here only variable is r value.

In case 1

             100=\frac{GMm}{(1000+500)^2}\\\\GMm=100\times 1500^2

In case 2

            F=\frac{GMm}{(1000+500+500)^2}\\\\F=\frac{GMm}{2000^2}\\\\F=\frac{100\times 1500^2}{2000^2}\\\\F=56.25N

Option C is the correct answer.

A river with a flow rate of 7 m3/s discharges into a lake with a volume of 9,000,000 m3. The concentration of a particular VOC i
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The concentration downstream reduces to 0.03463mg/L

Explanation:

Initially let us calculate the time it is required to fill the lake, since for that period of time the pollutant shall remain in the lake before being flushed out.

Thus the detention period is calculated as

t=\frac{V}{Q}\\\\t=\frac{9000000}{7}=1.285\times 10^{6}seconds\\\\\therefore t = 14.872days

Now the concentration of the pollutant after 14.872 days is calculated as

N_{t}=N_{0}e^{-kt}

where

N_{o} is the initial concentration

't' is the time elapsed after which the remaining concentration is calculated

k is the dissociation constant.

Applying values we get

N_{t}=3\times e^{-0.3\times 14.872}

N_{t}=0.03463mg/L

Individuals suffering from somatoform disorders often see several doctors about their symptoms because doctors often refer their patients for a second opinion

<h3>What is doctors opinion?</h3>

Doctors usually ask people to take different medications to be able to treat the cause and the symptoms of a disease.

For example, they might prescribe antibiotics to treat the infection and  anti-inflammatory medication for the swelling and pain.

According to this, the statement that says that doctors often advise a combination of treatments to eradicate an infection and treat symptoms is true.

Hence Individuals suffering from somatoform disorders often see several doctors about their symptoms because doctors often refer their patients for a second opinion

A decorative plastic film on a copper sphere of 10 mm diameter in an oven at 750C. Upon removal from the oven, the sphere is sub
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

3.26 secs

Explanation:

Diameter of sphere ( D )= 10 mm

T1 = 75°C

P = 1 atm

T∞ = 23°C

T2 = 35°c

Velocity = 10 m/s

<u>Determine how long it will take to cool the sphere to 35°C</u>

<em>Using the properties of copper and air given in the question</em>

Nu = 2 + (Re)^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

hd / k = 2 + ( vd/v )^0.8 (Pr)^0.33

∴ h ≈  2594.7 W/m^2k

Given that :

(T2 - T∞) / ( T1 - T∞ )  = exp [ ( -hA / pv CP ) t ]  

( 35 - 23 ) / ( 75 - 23 ) = exp [  - 2594.7 * 6 * t / 8933 * 387 * 10 * 10^-3 ]

=  ln ( 12/52 ) = -1.466337069  =     - 0.45032919 *  t

∴ t ≈ 3.26 secs        ( -1.466337069 / -0.45032919 )
