A skydiver jumps from a helicopter hovering at high altitude.if there were no air resistance, how fast would she be falling 12s

after jumping?

Well, if there were no air resistance, then a helicopter couldn't fly.  But let's do the physics and the Math anyway:

The way gravity works, the speed of a falling object increases at the rate of 9.8 m/s every second.

So, after falling for 12 seconds, its speed is (12 x 9.8) = <em>117.6 m/s </em>.

If the mass of the object is doubled and the speed is halved then kinetic energy will change by a factor of:
madam [21]

Answer:

kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

Kinetic energy = 1/2.mv²

given that mass of the object is doubled; m1 = 2m

speed is halved; v1 = V/2

Now, New kinetic energy will be; 1/2.m1v1²

we substitute

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v/2)²

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × 2m × (v²/4)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 × m × (v²/2)

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ 1/2mv² ]

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 [ KE ]

Therefore; kinetic energy will change by a factor of 1/2

Option C) 1/2 is the correct answer

¿Qué distancia recorre un móvil que lleva una aceleración de 5m/s durante 10seg?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

250 m

Explanation:

The car in this problem is moving of uniform accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

Assuming the car starts from rest,

u = 0

Also we know that

a = 5 m/s^2 (acceleration of the car)

t = 10 s

Substituting, we find the distance covered:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(5)(10)^2=250 m

a student measure the mass of an 8 cm^3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9 g. what is the density of the brown sugar?
schepotkina [342]
Density = mass / volume ;
1 Cubic Centimeter = 0,000001 Cubic Meter
8 cm^3 = 0.000008 m^3
12,9 g = 0,0129 kg


The density is 0,0129 kg/ 0,000008 m^3 = <span><u>1612,5 kg/m^3</u> </span>

Which of the following is the best way to make a conclusion? A. The experiment must be manipulated until the results show what y
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

You should compare your results and data with your original hypothesis.  It is okay to have a hypothesis that was shown to be false.  That's science. Things do not always work out.  You can always discuss what you could have done differently and things that went wrong.  There is no right answer in science!

Daniel Levinson found that men and women
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Option D. is correct

Explanation:

Daniel Levinson, a psychologist developed an adult development theory. This theory was referred to as the Seasons of Life theory. This theory describes the stage in which a person leaves adolescence and start making choices about adult life.

Daniel Levinson found that men and women go through the same stages of development, differ in terms of their social roles and identities, and deal with the development tasks in each stage differently.

Option D. is correct
