A 90-kg skydiver jumps from a height of 6000 m above the ground, falling head-first (pike position). The area of the diver is 0.

14 m2. The value for C is 1.0, and the density of air is 1.21 kg/m3. Determine the terminal velocity.

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 quarterback takes the ball from the line of scrimmage, runs backward for 12.1 yds, then runs sideways parallel to the line of
Over [174]

Answer:

The answer is 35.45 yds

Explanation:

You have to picture this to be able to understand it better (see attachment).

Start at the origin which is when the quarterback (QB) takes the ball. He runs backwards 12.1 yards, runs sideways for 19.8 yards (it doesn´t matter if he runs right or left), then he throws the ball forward 41.5 yards. If you look at the attachment, you can see I drew the path that the football followed. And then connected the dots from the origin and finish. The distance between those two points is the magnitude of the resultant displacement.

In order to calculate it, all you need to do is use the Pythagoream theorem, which says that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the legs a and b of the triangle rectangle.

  1. R^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} then solve for R
  2. R = \sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}  }

In this case, you know the length of leg a to be 19.8 yards which how much it moves sideways. And then, to get the length of leg b, all you need to do is substract how much it moved backwards from the 41.5yards forward displacement. This results in b leg being 29.4 yards long.

Now you have a triangle with:

  • a = 19.8 yards
  • b = 29.4 yards

Substituting this numbers in the equation:

  • R = \sqrt{19.8^{2}+29.4^{2}  }
  • R = 35.45 yards

Which nanotechnology product would most likely help the
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: OLEDs

Explanation:

The nanotechnology uses the surface of the carbon materials to generate the electricity. The evaporation of water on the surface of carbon materials helps in generation of electrical energy due to generation of thermal energy.

OLEDs can be defined as solid-state devices that comprises of organic molecules like carbon that will create electricity by exposing a surface for generation of thermal energy.

Why are Substances used as perfumes are usually in a liquid state
tester [92]

Answer:

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant oils in an ethanol/water solvent. The ethanol/water mixture, which is volatile, evaporates from the droplets within a few seconds, leaving behind a droplet of the fragrant compounds in the perfume. These compounds will also eventually evaporate to form a vapor of the fragrant molecules
