A skydiver of mass m jumps from a hot air balloon and falls a distance d before reaching a terminal velocity of magnitude v . As

sume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g .
a. What is the work (Wd) done on the skydiver, over the distance , by the drag force of the air?
b. Find the power (P d) supplied by the drag force after the skydiver has reached terminal velocity v.

Answer:

Explanation:

work done by gravitational force during fall of distance d = mgd

work done by drag = w ( let )

mgd - w = 1/2 m v²

w = m g d - 1/2 m v²

so work done by drag force

= m g d - 1/2 m v²

b ) when terminal velocity is reached , drag force = mg

power supplied by drag force = force x velocity

= mg x v

P_d = mgv

How are the sun and Earth's moon different?(2 points)
katovenus [111]

Answer: The Sun measures 1.4 million km across, while the Moon is a mere 3,474 km across. In other words, the Sun is roughly 400 times larger than the Moon. But the Sun also happens to be 400 times further away than the Moon, and this has created an amazing coincidence.

The gravitational attraction between two masses of 3kg that are separated by a distance of 1cm is
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

6.003×10¯⁶ N

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 1 cm to m. This can be obtained as follow:

100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

1 cm = 1 cm × 1 m / 100 cm

1 cm = 0.01 m

Finally, we shall determine the gravitational attraction. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass 1 (M₁) = 3 Kg

Mass 2 (M₂) = 3 Kg

Distance apart (r) = 0.01 m

Gravitational constant (G) = 6.67×10¯¹¹ Nm²/Kg²

Force of attraction (F) =?

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

F = 6.67×10¯¹¹ × 3 × / 0.01²

F = 6.003×10¯¹⁰ / 1×10¯⁴

F = 6.003×10¯⁶ N

Thus the gravitational attraction is 6.003×10¯⁶ N
