A 52 kg and a 95 kg skydiver jump from an airplane at an altitude of 4750 m, both falling in the pike position. Assume all value

Scilla [17]

Answer: 52 kg skydiver: 9.09 m/s and 522.55 s

95 kg skydiver: 12.3 m/s and 386.2 s

Explanation: Drag Force is an opposite force when an object is moving in a fluid.

For skydivers, when falling through the air, the forces acting on it are gravitational and drag forces. At a certain point, drag force equals gravitational force, which is constant on any part of the planet, producing a net force that is zero. Since there is no net force, there is no acceleration and, consequently, velocity is constant. When that happens, the person reached the Terminal Velocity.

Drag Force and Velocity are proportional to the squared speed. So, terminal velocity is given by:

$F_{G}=F_{D}$

$mg=\frac{1}{2}C \rho Av_{T}^{2}$

$v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA} }$

where

m is mass in kg

g is acceleration due to gravitational force in m/s²

ρ is density of the fluid in kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

A is area of the object in the fluid in m²

Calculating:

The 52kg skydiver has terminal velocity of:

$v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2(52)(9.8)}{(1.21)(0.7)(0.14)} }$

$v_{T}=$ 9.09

The 95kg skydiver's terminal velocity is

$v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2(95)(9.8)}{(1.21)(0.7)(0.14)} }$

$v_{T}=$ 12.3

The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' terminal velocity are 9.09m/s and 12.3m/s, respectively.

The time each one will reach the floor will be:

52 kg at 9.09 m/s:

$t=\frac{4750}{9.09}$

t = 522.5

95 kg at 12.3 m/s:

$t=\frac{4750}{12.3}$

t = 386.2

The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' time to reach the floor are 522.5 s and 386.2 s, respectively.

What is the metric unit of force? kg kg/cm^3 kg/cm^2 N

Feliz [49]

Force is found by multiplying mass (kg) and acceleration (m/s^2), so the metric unit of force is kg*m/s^2 or N (newtons)

After a magnetic field is applied, how many energy levels would you expect for then=3,ℓ=2 state, including electron spin?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

The energy level is 5.

Explanation:

Given that,

n = 3

l = 2

We know that,

l shows the number of sub-shells and define the number of angular nodes.

n shows the number of electron shell.

$m_{l}$ is a quantum number. It is define the number of energy level in a sub-shells .

$m_{s}$ is define the spin of the electron.

So, The quantum number is

$m_{l}=-2,-1,0,1,2$

$m_{s}$ is $+\dfrac{1}{2}$ and $-\dfrac{1}{2}$ for every energy level.

The energy level is 5.

Hence, The energy level is 5.

Describe and explain how the movement and arrangement of the particles in a block of ice change as the ice melts to form liquid

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Ice is water in solid phase, in this phase, the particles are very close together and relatively in fixed positions.

As the temperature starts to increase (thermal energy), also does the kinetic energy of the particles (so we have a change from thermal energy to kinetic energy), so they start to move "more", and the position of the particles starts to be less "fixed". There is a point where the particles have enough energy, and this point is where the phase of the water changes from solid to liquid phase (the fusion point). After this point the water can not hold his shape, and takes the shape of the container where it is.
