Physics

Sever21 [200]3 years ago
4 0

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 driver averaged 64 mph and took 3½ hours to travel from st. Louis to chicago. Based on this, what is the distance between st.
sammy [17]

Average speed of the driver is given as

v = 64 mph

if he moved for total time t = 3.5 hours

so the distance between the tow is given as

d = v* t

d = 64 * 3.5

d = 224 miles

so the distance between St. Louis and Chicago is 224 miles

O How are electricity and magnetism related?
Nataly [62]
Magnetism is the product of a moving charged particle. We can have electricity without magnetism but we can not have magnetism without electricity.An electro magnet is made so that we have a soft metal core and electricity around it. A bar magnet is a normal magnet in bar shape with permanent magnetism.

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°. Which of these statem
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
Vlad [161]

Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm
