When a space shuttle was launched, the astronauts aboard experienced and acceleration of 29.0 m/s. If one of the astronauts had

a mass of 69.0 kg, what net force in newtons did the astronaut experience?

   Net force = (mass) · (acceleration)

   = (69 kg) · (29 m/s²)

   = (69 · 29) · (kg·m/s²)

   = 2,001 Newtons upward
   (about 450 pounds)

If a current-carrying wire has a cross-sectional area that gradually becomes smaller along the length of the wire, the drift v

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Drift velocity is given by

$v_d=\frac{I}{n\times Q\times A}$

where $v_d$ =drift velocity

I=Current

n=no of electron

Q=charge of Electron

A=cross-section

If area of cross-section decreases gradually then drift velocity will increase because drift velocity is inversely proportional to Area of cross-section

A girl stands on the edge of a merry-go-round of radius 1.71 m. If the merry go round uniformly accerlerates from rest to 20 rpm

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

Explanation:

initially the merry go round is at rest

after 6.73 s the merry go round will accelerates to 20 rpm

so final angular speed is given as

$\omega = 2\pi f$

$\omega = 2\pi ( \frac{20}{60})$

$\omega = 2.10 rad/s$

so final tangential speed is given as

$v = r\omega$

$v = 1.71 (2.10) = 3.58 m/s$

now average acceleration of the girl is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}$

$a = \frac{3.58 - 0}{6.73}$

$a = 0.53 m/s^2$

510 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the dr

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The terminal velocity is $v_t =17.5 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the squirrel is $m_s = 50\ g = \frac{50}{1000} = 0.05 \ kg$

The surface area is $A_s = 935 cm^2 = \frac{935}{10000} = 0.0935 \ m^2$

The height of fall is h =4.8 m

The length of the prism is $l = 23.2 = 0.232 \ m$

The width of the prism is $w = 11.6 = 0.116 \ m$

The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * m_s * g }{\dho_s * C * A } }$

Where $\rho$ is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of $\rho = 1.21 \ kg/m^3$

$C$ is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1

A is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as

$A = 0.116 * 0.232$

$A = 0.026912 \ m^2$

substituting values

$v_t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 0.510 * 9.8 }{1.21 * 1 * 0.026912 } }$

$v_t =17.5 \ m/s$
