A sky diver of mass 53 kg can slow herself to a constant speed of 95 km/h by orienting her body horizontally, looking straight d

own with arms and legs extended. In this position, she presents the maximum cross-sectional area and thus maximizes the air-drag force on her.
(a) What is the magnitude of the drag force on the sky diver?
N
(b) If the drag force is equal to bv2, what is the value of b?
kg/m
(c) At some instant she quickly flips into a "knife" position, orienting her body vertically with her arms straight down. Suppose this reduces the value of b to 55 percent of the value in Parts (a) and (b). What is her acceleration at the instant she achieves the "knife" position?
m/s2

Answer:

force = 520 N

b = 0.747 kg/m

acceleration = 4.41 m/s²    

Explanation:

given data

mass = 53 kg

speed = 95 km/h

solution

as here driver is at constant speed so here drag force is

drag force = mg

force = 53 × 9.81

force = 520 N

and when drag force is equal to bv²

b = \frac{mg}{v^2}  

b = \frac{520}{26.38}  

b = 0.747 kg/m

and

here x = 520 × 0.55  = 286 N

so here

F net = 520 - 286

F net = 234 N

so here

acceleration = \frac{F \ net}{m}  

acceleration = \frac{234}{53}  

acceleration = 4.41 m/s²

A car generator turns at 400 rpm (revolutions per minute) when the engine is idling. It has a rectangular coil with 300 turns of
Sav [38]

The field strength needed to produce a 24.0 V peak emf is 0.73T.

To find the answer, we need to know about the expression of emf.

What's the expression of peak emf produced in a rotating rectangular loops?

  • The peak emf produced in a rotating loops= N×B×A×w
  • N= no. of turns of the loop, B= magnetic field, A= area of loop and w= angular frequency
  • So, B = emf/(N×A×w)
<h3>What's the magnetic field applied to the loop, when rectangular coil with 300 turns of dimensions 5.00 cm by 5.22 cm rotates at 400 rpm produce a 24.0 V peak emf?</h3>
  • N= 300, A= 5cm × 5.22cm = 0.05m × 0.0522m = 0.00261 m²
  • Emf= 24V, w= 2π×400 rpm= 2π×(400rps/60) = 42 rad/s
  • Now, B= 24/(300×0.00261×42)

B= 24/(300×0.00261×42) = 0.73T

Thus, we can conclude that the magnetic field is 0.73T.

02: Describes what happens to the strength of gravity if the mass between two objects
Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.

Why is an object's density expressed as a combination of two units
miss Akunina [59]
Well, first of all, EVERY physical quantity is measured in a combination
of 2 or more units, except for mass, length, time, and electric charge. 
ALL other units are made out of these.  So it should not surprise you.

[  Example:  Speed  =  (length) / (time)  ]

Density is not the mass of a substance.  It's the mass of a substance in
a standard volume of it.  So the density is made of the mass in any lump
and the volume of that lump.  That way, no matter how much of a substance
you have, you can always compare the lump you have to all other substances.

During an earthquake you should.
White raven [17]

Well, you should TAKE COVER UNDER A STUDY DESK, TABLE OR AGAINST AN INSIDE WALL. Which is C. This is because, doing this protects you from the falling objects. If you do A or B, you will probably get crushed by falling objects because you are exposed. Hope I helped.
