How would an unexpected result to an experiment affect the original hypothesis?

The highest freefall jump on record is from a height of almost 38,000 m. At this height, the acceleration of gravity is slightly

lina2011 [118]

Increasing his acceleration will impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered in that as the speed increases due to the increased rate of acceleration, the rate of air resistance also increases.

<h3>What is air resistance?</h3>

Air resistance is a force created by air. When an item moves through the air, the force operates in the opposite direction.

When a diver descends, the force of air resistance acts to counteract the force of gravity. As the skydiver falls faster and faster, the quantity of air resistance grows until it equals the magnitude of gravity's force.

A balance of forces is achieved when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance, and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver reaches what is known as terminal velocity.

A 10n force is applied to a 25kg mass to slide it across a frictional surface. What is the acceleration of the mass?

klasskru [66]

Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

A Neglecting air resistance, a ball projected straight upward so it remains in the air for 10 seconds needs an initial speed of

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

For first half,

We need to calculate the height

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gh$

$h =\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$ ....(I)

For second half,

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

$h =ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}gt_{2}^2$

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}}$

Put the value of h from equation (I)

$t_{2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times v^2}{g^2}}$

$t_{2}=\dfrac{v}{g}$

According to question,

$t_{1}+t_{2}=10$

$t_{1}=t_{2}$

Put the value of t₁ and t₂

$\dfrac{v}{g}+\dfrac{v}{g}=10$

$\dfrac{2v}{g}=10$

$v=\dfrac{10\times g}{2}$

Here, g = 10

The initial velocity is

$v=\dfrac{10\times10}{2}$

$v=50\ m/s$

Hence, The initial velocity is 50 m/s.

A 61.0-kg person jumps from rest off a 10.0-m-high tower straight down into the water. Neglect air resistance. She comes to rest

9966 [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

In this case, law of conservation of energy will be implemented. It states that "the energy of the system remains conserved until or unless some external force act on it. Energy of the system may went through the conversion process like kinetic energy into potential and potential into kinetic energy.But their total always remain the same in conserved systems."

Given data:

Height of tower = 10.0 m

Depth of the pool = 3.00 cm

Mass of person = 61.0 kg

Solution:

Initial energy = Final energy

$U_{i} = (K.E) + U_{f}$

As the person was at height initially so it has the potential energy only.

$mg(h_{1} +h_{2}) = K.E + mgh_{2}$

$K.E = mgh_{1}$

$K.E = (61.0)(9.8)(10)\\K.E = 5978 J$

Lets find out the magnitude of the force that the water is exerting on the diver.

W =ΔK.E

$F.h_{2} = 5978\\$

$F = \frac{5978}{3}$

F = 1992.67 N

What is the theory of light?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
