As you found out while solving Part C, the only force acting on Tarzan that does work on him is gravity. An important property o

f gravity is that the work done by this force on a body moving along a curved path is the same as if the body were displaced vertically. Therefore, you can evaluate your previous work using the kinematics equations for free fall. What vertical distance Δy does a free-falling particle travel from the moment it starts to the moment it reaches a speed of 7.9 m/s if it starts from rest? Work out your solution using one of the equations for vertical motion with constant acceleration, specifically,v2f=v2i+2aΔywhere vi and vf are, respectively, the particle’s initial and final speed, and a is the particle’s acceleration.

Answer:

The vertical distance traveled is 3.18 m.

Explanation:

In order to find the vertical distance traveled by a body in free fall motion, starting from rest to a velocity of 7.9 m/s. For this purpose, we use Newton's third equation of motion,

2as = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = g = 9.8 m/s²

s = vertical distance = Δy = ?

Vf = final velocity = 7.9 m/s

Vi = initial velocity = 0 m/s

Therefore,

2(9.8 m/s²)Δy = (7.9 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²

Δy =  (7.9 m/s)²/(2)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>Δy =  3.18 m</u>

Following are the different layers of the Sun's atmosphere. Rank them based on the order in which a probe would encounter them w
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Sequence of layers to encounter while travelling from Earth to the surface of the sun are:

Option (A) - Corona

Option (C) - Chromosphere

Option (B) - Photosphere

Explanation:

  • Corona- It represents the extreme outer region of the surface of the sun. It is normally not visible because of the light emitted from the sun. So it is difficult to be seen from the naked eye, but it can be seen during the time of total solar eclipse. The temperature in this region is about several million degrees.
  • Chromosphere- It is a layer that lies between the Corona and the Photosphere. This layer has a thickness of about 2000 kilometers and the temperature in this layer ranges from about 6000°C to 20,000°C.
  • Photosphere- This layer is the bright visible layer of the sun which is comprised of plasma and dark and cool sunspots, that forms on the sun due to the emerging of the magnetic field of the sun from its surface.

Thus, the correct sequences are mentioned above.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Each half wavelength has a point of largest amplitude (aka a node). Depending on the wavelength each node oscillates at a certain rate of swings per unit of time. The latter is referred to as frequency and measure in Hertz [Hz].

Talja [164]
Using conservation of energy and momentum we get m1*v1=(m1+m2)*v2 so rearranging for v2 and plugging the given values in we get:
(200000kg*1.00m/s)/(21000kg)=.952m/s
