Answer:

102.097252061 m/s

Explanation:

F = Force

m = Mass = 90 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

C = Drag coefficient = 1

ρ = Density of air = 1.21 kg/m³

A = Surface area = 0.14 m²

v = Terminal velocity

Force is given by

F = ma

F=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow ma=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho CAv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{ma}{\rho CA}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{90\times 9.81}{1.21\times 1\times 0.14}}\\\Rightarrow v=102.097252061\ m/s

Terminal velocity of the skydiver is 102.097252061 m/s

A metal rod A and a metal sphere B, on insulating stands, touch each other. They are originally neutral. A positively charged ro
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The sphere is positively charged

Explanation:

This is because when the positively charged rod is brought near the metal rod A, the electrons in metal rod A and sphere B are attracted towards it into metal rod A while the positive charges in the are repelled into sphere B. So, when the charged rod is withdrawn, and metal rod A and sphere B are separated, metal rod A is now negatively charged, but sphere B is positively charged.

So, sphere B is positively charged.

What is the interaction between surface water and groundwater in a watershed?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Groundwater occasionally discharges into surface water and then, they flow together as a body of water in a watershed.

Explanation:

According to www.mbgnet.net A watershed describes an area of land that contains a common set of streams and rivers that all drain into a single larger body of water, such as a larger river, a lake or an ocean.

Therefore, when groundwater discharges into a body of surface water, for example a stream, the stream just like several other streams in a watershed would flow into a larger body of water.

6.6 kg block initially at rest is pulled to theright along a horizontal, frictionless surfaceby a constant, horizontal force of
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

v = 3.04 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block, M = 6.6 Kg

horizontal force, F = 12.2 N

distance, L = 2.5 m

initial speed  = 0 m/s

speed of the block,v = ?

we now

Work done is equal to change in Kinetic energy.

Work done = Force x displacement

W = Δ K E

Δ K E = Force x displacement

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2= F .s

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.6 \times v^2 - 0= 12.2\times 2.5

 3.3 v² = 30.5

     v² = 9.242

      v = 3.04 m/s

speed of the block is equal to 3.04 m/s
