Answer:

BASE jumping is the recreational sport of jumping from fixed objects, using a parachute to descend safely to the ground. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: building, antenna, span, and earth (cliff).[1][2] Participants exit from a fixed object such as a cliff, and after an optional freefall delay, deploy a parachute to slow their descent and land. A popular form of BASE jumping is wingsuit BASE jumping.

Explanation:

In contrast to other forms of parachuting, such as skydiving from airplanes, BASE jumps are performed from fixed objects which are generally much lower altitude, and BASE jumpers typically carry only one parachute. BASE jumping is significantly more hazardous than other forms of parachuting, and is widely considered to be one of the most dangerous extreme sports

A roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a hill 15 m high and rolls down to ground level. From there it starts into a

Softa [21]

Answer:

955.5N

Explanation:

The normal force is given by the difference between the centripetal force and gravity at the top of the loop:

$F_N = F_C - F_G = m\frac{v^{2} }{r} - mg$

mass m = 65kg

radius of the loop r = 4m

velocity v = ?

g = 9.8 m/s²

To find the centripetal force, you need to find the velocity of the car at the top of the loop.

Use energy conservation:

$E_{tot}=mgh + \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

At the top of the hill:

$E_{tot}= mgh_{hill}$

At the top of the loop:

$E_{tot}=mgh_{loo}_p +\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Setting both energies equal and canceling the mass m gives:

$gh_{hill} = gh_{loo}_p + \frac{1}{2} v^{2}$

Solving for v:

$v^{2} = 2g(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)$

Using v in the first equation:

$F_N = \frac{2mg(h_{hill}-h_{loo}_p)}{r} - mg$

$F_N = 955.5N$

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

from lens makers formula

$\frac{1}{f} =(\mu-1)(\frac{1}{r_1} -\frac{1}{r_2})$

f is focal length , r₁ is radius of curvature of one face and r₂ is radius of curvature of second face

putting the values

$\frac{1}{1.8} =(1.38-1)(\frac{1}{.5} -\frac{1}{r_2})$

1.462 = 2 - 1 / r₂

1 / r₂ = .538

r₂ = 1.86 cm .

= 18.6 mm .

b )

object distance u = 25 cm

focal length of convex lens f = 1.8 cm

image distance v = ?

lens formula

$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{u} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{v} - \frac{1}{-25} = \frac{1}{1.8}$

$\frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{1.8} -\frac{1}{25}$

.5555 - .04

= .515

v = 1.94 cm

c )

magnification = v / u

= 1.94 / 25

= .0776

size of image = .0776 x size of object

= .0776 x 10 mm

= .776 mm

It will be a real image and it will be inverted.

Why is cloning done before an investigation begins??

svlad2 [7]

Answer:Purpose of Cloning

A forensic image of a hard drive captures everything on the hard drive, from the physical beginning to the physical end. ... Hard drives are susceptible to failure. Having two clones gives an investigator one to examine and one to fall back on.Therapeutic cloning involves creating a cloned embryo for the sole purpose of producing embryonic stem cells with the same DNA as the donor cell. These stem cells can be used in experiments aimed at understanding disease and developing new treatments for disease.
