At about 55 meters/sec, a falling parachuter (before the parachute opens) no longer accelerates. Air friction opposes accelerati

on. Although the affect of air friction begins gradually, imagine that the parachuter is free falling until terminal speed ( the constant falling speed) is reached. How long would that take?

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s².
That means that if air resistance is neglected, a falling body
smoothly gains 9.8 m/s of downward speed each second.

If our intrepid chutist lightly stepped out of the plane or was
gently pushed, so that his initial downward speed was zero
and grew by 9.8 m/s every second, then it took him ...

               (55) / (9.8)  =  5.6 seconds

to reach that particular downward speed.

You can only determine the speed since the only info we know is how much you ran in how long of a time.

in a certain experiment, a radio transmitter emits sinusoidal electromagnetic waves of frequency 105.0 mhz in opposite direction
Romashka [77]

As a result, the hollow is 10.90 meters long and the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36 meters.

<h3>Explain electromagnetic waves.</h3>

The oscillations between an electric field and a magnetic field produce waves known as electromagnetic waves, or EM waves.

By definition, we understand that the frequency equals,

f = c/λ

where,

λ = wavelength

c= Speed of light

λ = 2L / n

While the wavelength is equal to,

Where,

L = Length

n = Number of antinodes/nodes

PART A) We know that the first component's wavelength is 110 MHz, so

λ = c/ f

λ = 3*10^8 / 11*10^6

λ = 1.36m

Therefore the distance between the nodal planes is 1.36m

PART B) For this part we need to find the Length through the number of nodes (8) and the wavelength, that is,

λ` = 2l /n

L = 8*2.72/ 2

L = 10.90m

Therefore the length of the cavity is 10.90m.

wel

Answer:

Normal force = 8.75 N

Explanation:

given,

frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying pan=0.350 N

coefficient of friction between material =0.04

normal force = ?

using formula,

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force

normal\ force = \dfrac{Frictional\ force}{coefficient\ of\ friction}

normal\ force = \dfrac{0.350}{0.04}

Normal force = 8.75 N
