Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

The kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy changes during its movement from ground to the top height.

<h3>What happens to kinetic and potential energy while motion?</h3>

When the ball moves upward, its gravitational potential energy is increases and kinetic energy begins to decrease but when the ball falls towards the earth, its gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy. When the ball collides with the ground, the kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy.

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.
PtichkaEL [24]

Complete question is;

An experiment is carried out to measure the extension of a rubber band for different loads.

The results are shown in the image attached.

What figure is missing from the table?

Answer:

17.3 cm

Explanation:

The image attached showed values for load, extension and initial length.

Now, the first length there is 15.2 cm and as such it's corresponding extension is 0 because it has no preceding measured length.

The second measured length is 16.2 cm. Since it's initial measured length is 15.2 cm, then the extension has a formula; final length - initial length.

This gives: 16.2 - 15.2 = 1 cm

This corresponds to what is given in the table.

For the next measured length, it is blank but we are given the extension to be 2.1 cm. Now, since the initial measured length is 15.2 cm.

Thus;

2.1 cm = Final length - 15.2 cm

Final length = 15.2 + 2.1

Final length = 17.3 cm

A wheel starts from rest and has an angular acceleration that is given by α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t2. After it has turned through 10
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

75 rad/s

Explanation:

The angular acceleration is the time rate of change of angular velocity. It is given by the formula:

α(t) = d/dt[ω(t)]

Hence: ω(t) = ∫a(t) dt

Also, angular velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. It is given by:

ω(t) = d/dt[θ(t)]

θ(t) = ∫w(t) dt

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

Given that: α (t) = (6.0 rad/s4)t² = 6t² rad/s⁴. Hence:

θ(t) = ∫∫α(t) dtdt

θ(t) = ∫∫6t² dtdt =∫[∫6t² dt]dt

θ(t) = ∫[2t³]dt = t⁴/2 rad

θ(t) = t⁴/2 rad

At θ(t) = 10 rev = (10 *  2π) rad = 20π rad, we can find t:

20π = t⁴/2

40π = t⁴

t = ⁴√40π

t = 3.348 s

ω(t) = ∫α(t) dt = ∫6t² dt = 2t³

ω(t) = 2t³

ω(3.348) = 2(3.348)³ = 75 rad/s

Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile? Answ
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?

A proton moving at 8.9 × 106 m/s through a magnetic field of 0.96 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 3.8 × 10−13 N. Wha
goblinko [34]

Answer: 15.66 °

Explanation: In order to solve this proble we have to consirer the Loretz force for charge partcles moving inside a magnetic field. Thsi force is given by:

F=q v×B = qvB sin α where α is teh angle between the velocity and magnetic field vectors.

From this expression and using the given values we obtain the following:

F/(q*v*B) = sin α

3.8 * 10^-13/(1.6*10^-19*8.9*10^6* 0.96)= 0.27

then  α =15.66°
