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

Earthquakes are caused by movement of the Earth's crust. What causes the Earth's crust to move?
fomenos

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The heat from radioactive processes within the planet's interior causes the plates to move, sometimes toward and sometimes away from each other. This movement is called plate motion, or a tectonic shift.

Glass as it is heavier and by newtons first law and inertia the greater the mass = more inertia(resistance to chabge in motion) thus the glass has a greater mass than an empty paper cup and thus has greater inertia. So it would be easier to leave it in place

A rock is thrown horizontally off a cliff with an initial speed of 3 m/s. The initial position of the rock is 10 meters above th
Valentin [98]

Answer:

<em>1.43 s.</em>

Explanation:

Using one of the equations of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt².......................... Equation 1

Where S = height of the cliff, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Note: When the rock begins to fall from the maximum height, u = 0 m/s, g = positive</em>

<em>Given: S = 10 m, u = 0 m/s</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation,</em>

<em>10 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)</em>

<em>10 = 0 + 4.9t²</em>

<em>t² = 10/4.9</em>

<em>t² = 100/49</em>

<em>t = √(100/49)</em>

<em>t = 10/7</em>

<em>t = 1.43 s.</em>

<em>Thus the rock spend 1.43 s in air</em>
