Does anyone know what Base jump is?

Physics
1 answer:
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

what is the transfer of heat energy by direct contact. A . convection b. radiation c. thermal or heat and d. conduction ​
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

d. conduction ​

Explanation:

Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.

In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.

Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.

In conclusion, conduction typically involves the transfer of heat energy by direct contact between two or more conductors such as a pot and electric cooker.

It's the second graph!
it's the only one with a negative gradient.
so the temperature of the ball will fall in water as it looses its heat.

Explain how do you determine the intensity of earthquake​
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

The Richter scale measures the largest wiggle (amplitude) on the recording, but other magnitude scales measure different parts of the earthquake. The USGS currently reports earthquake magnitudes using the Moment Magnitude scale, though many other magnitudes are calculated for research and comparison purposes.

Luis and Aisha conducted an experiment. They exerted different forces on four objects. Their results are shown in the table.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Object 3 has greatest acceleration.

Explanation:

Objects               Mass                                Force

1                            10 kg                               4 N              

2                           100 grams                       20 N

3                            10 grams                         4 N

4                             1 kg                                 20 N

Acceleration of object 1,

a_1=\dfrac{F_1}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{4}{10}\\\\a_1=0.4\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 2,

a_2=\dfrac{F_2}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{20}{0.1}\\\\a_2=200\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 3,

a_3=\dfrac{F_3}{m_3}\\\\a_3=\dfrac{4}{0.01}\\\\a_3=400\ m/s^2

Acceleration of object 4,

a_4=\dfrac{F_4}{m_4}\\\\a_4=\dfrac{20}{1}\\\\a_3=20\ m/s^2

It is clear that the acceleration of object 3 is 400\ m/s^2 and it is greatest of all. So, the correct option is (3).

Answer:

A) Energy is dissipated into heat and sound energy due to Friction

B) The energy goes into heat and sound energy due to friction again, otherwise the cart would accelerate due to an unbalanced force. Therefore, we know there's friction, and the friction causes energy loss.
