Using the word "Terminal" which means end, we can conclude that, in a nutshell, terminal velocity is when an object reaches a speed where it cannot go any faster. For example, if you jumped of the Empire State building, before you went "KURSPAT!" on the pavement below, you would enter Terminal Velocity. Your fall off the Empire State building would also be "terminal". eh? Hahahaha never try a physics joke.

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?
Rzqust [24]
NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.

75kg man climbs a mountain 1000m high in 3hrs and uses 4100 joulse/min. (a) calculate the power consumption in watt, (b) what is
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a) Power consumption is 4100 J/min / 60 s/min = 68.3 W(atts)

work done raised the potential energy

b) 75(9.8)(1000) / (3(3600)) = 68.055555... 68.1 W

c) efficiency is 68.1 / 68.3 = 0.99593... or nearly 100%

Not a very likely scenario.

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 28 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car b
choli [55]

Answer:

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed of truck  = 28 m/s

acceleration of car = 1.2 m/s²

passes the truck in 545 m

speed of the car when it just pass the truck = ?

time taken by the truck to travel 545 m

              time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}

              time =\dfrac{545}{28}

              time =19.46 s

velocity of the car when it crosses the truck

S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

545= u\times 19.46 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times 19.46^2

u = 16.33 m/s

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

(URGENT) A ball rolls off a ledge. Its velocity is 7.70m/s in a horizontal direction. It falls on the floor 1.60m below the ledg
elena-s [515]

Answer:

the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters

Explanation:

The computation of the horizontal distance while travelling in the air is shown below:

Data provided in the question is as follows

Velocity = u = 7.70 m/s

H = 1.60 m

R = horizontal direction

Based on the above information

As we know that

R = u × time

where,

Time = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} }

So,

= 7.70\times \sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.60}{10} }

= 4.355 meters

hence, the horizontal distance is 4.355 meters
