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.

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b) 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

Explanation:

a)

p(r) = -A exp ( - 2r/a₀)

Q = ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2xπ p(r)dV  =  -A  ₀∫^∞ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π   exp ( - 2r/a₀)r² sinθdrdθd∅

Q = -4πA ₀∫^∞ exp ( - 2r/a₀)r²dr = -e

now using integration by parts;

A = e / πa₀³

p(r) =  - (e / πa₀³) exp (-2r/a₀)

Now Net charge inside a sphere of radius a₀ i.e Qnet is;

= e - (e / πa₀³)  ₀∫^a₀ ₀∫^π ₀∫^2π  r² exp (-2r/a₀)dr

= e - e + 5e exp (-2) = 1.082 × 10⁻¹⁹C  ( e = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹C)  

b)

Using Gauss's law,

E × 4πa₀ ² = Qnet / ∈₀

E = 4πa₀ ² × Qnet × 1/a₀²

E = 3.466 × 10¹¹ N/C

An elevator is moving is an upwards
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The elevator's free-body diagram has three forces, the force of gravity, a downward normal force from you, and an upward force from the tension in the cable holding the elevator. The combined system of you + elevator has two forces, a combined force of gravity and the tension in the cable.
