510 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the dr

ag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the squirrel can be approximated as a rectanglar prism with cross-sectional area of width 11.6 cm and length 23.2 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the gr

Answer:

The terminal velocity is v_t  =17.5 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the squirrel is  m_s  =  50\ g  =  \frac{50}{1000} =  0.05 \  kg

      The surface area is   A_s =  935 cm^2  =  \frac{935}{10000} = 0.0935 \ m^2

       The height of fall is  h =4.8 m

        The length of the prism is l =  23.2 = 0.232 \ m

          The width of the prism is w =  11.6 =  0.116 \ m

 

The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as

       v_t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * m_s *  g }{\dho_s * C  * A } }

Where \rho  is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of \rho  =  1.21 \ kg/m^3

            C is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1

            A  is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as

      A =  0.116 * 0.232

       A =  0.026912 \ m^2

 substituting values

      v_t  =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * 0.510 *  9.8 }{1.21 * 1  * 0.026912 } }

     v_t  =17.5 \ m/s

The velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in
vivado [14]

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

<h3>Force escaping gas exerts</h3>

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is calculated as follows;

F = m(v - u)/t

where;

  • m is mass of the rocket
  • v is the final velocity of the rocket
  • u is the initial velocity of the rocket
  • t is time of motion

F = (0.25)(40 - 15)/0.6

F = 10.42 N

Thus, the force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

What are the three rules for writing the electron configuration of elements
astraxan [27]

<em></em>

Answer:

<u><em>The aufbau principle</em></u>

<u />

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity</em></u>

Explanation:

<u><em>The aufbau principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

The fundamental electronic configuration is achieved by placing the electrons one by one in the different orbitals available for the atom, which are arranged in increasing order of energy.

<u><em>The Pauli exclusion principle:</em></u>

<em></em>

Two electrons of the same atom cannot have their four equal quantum numbers.  Because each orbital is defined by the quantum numbers n, l, and m, there are only two possibilities ms = -1/2 and ms = +1/2, which physically reflects that each orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons, having opposite spins

<u><em>Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:</em></u>

This rule says that when there are several electrons occupying degenerate orbitals, of equal energy, they will do so in different orbitals and with parallel spins, whenever this is possible.  Because electrons repel each other, the minimum energy configuration is one that has electrons as far away as possible from each other, and that is why they are distributed separately before two electrons occupy  the same orbital.

Moons revolve around a planet, and planets revolve around the sun. Ganymede is considered a moon because it revolves around the planet Jupiter, therefore, it is a moon. :) I hope this helps!
