Answer:

a = g = 9.81[m/s^2]

Explanation:

This problem can be solve using the second law of Newton.

We know that the forces acting over the skydiver are only his weight, and it is equal to the product of the mass by the acceleration.

m*g = m*a

where:

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

Note: If the skydiver will be under air resistance forces his acceleration will be different.

Lilit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Image of distant object will be made at far point or at 52.5 so

object distance u = infinity

image distance v = - 52.5 cm

focal length required = f

Lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 /  - 52.5 - 0 = 1 / f

f =  -52.5 cm

= -.525 m

Power P = 1 / f = -  1 / .525

= -  1.90

now , for eye with glass we shall find new near point .

v = ?

u = - 17.2 cm

f = -  52.5 cm

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

  1 / v + 1 / 17.2 = -  1 / 52.5

1 / v  = - 1 / 17.2 -    1 / 52.5

= - .05813 -  .019

= - .07713

u = - 12.96 cm

so new near point will be 12.96 cm

A circular test track for cars has a circumference of 4.7 km. A car travels around the track from the southernmost point to the
Alika [10]
Well, for the distance traveled, the car goes from the northernmost point to the southernmost point. So, it travels half of the circle's circumference = 4.7/2 = 2.35 km.

For the displacement, by going from the northernmost point to the southernmost point, the car basically just travels the diameter of circle.

So, using the formula: Circumference = 2πr = <span>πd

Hence, the d = C/</span>π = 4.7/<span>π = 1.49605... = 1.5 km (2 significant figures)
Therefore, displacement = 1.5 km</span>

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

(d) 22.22 °C

Explanation:

Because in 1 Celcius is 1.8 fahrenheit apart from 2 celcius, so

when °C is 0 f is 32, when °C is 1 = 33.8 , so it rises with quantities of 1.8 fahrenheit

An object has kinetic energy of 1500 J and a speed of 120 m/s. What is the mass?
Pie

Explanation:

K.E = 1/2mv²

m = 2K.E/v²

m = 2 x 1500/(120)²

m = 3000/14400

m = 0.208 kg
