In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 362 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s

uffering only minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 52 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 86 kg, and that the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 ✕ 105 N.What is the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely?

Answer:

s = 0.9689 m

Explanation:

given,

Height of fall of paratroopers = 362 m

speed of impact = 52 m/s

mass of paratrooper = 86 Kg

From from snow on him = 1.2 ✕ 10⁵ N

now using formula

F = m a

a = F/m

a = \dfrac{1.2 \times 10^5}{86}

a =1395.35\ m/s^2

Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

s =\dfrac{v^2}{2a}

s =\dfrac{52^2}{2\times 1395.35}

s = 0.9689 m

The minimum depth of snow that would have stooped him is  s = 0.9689 m

A motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled
wel
Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and becomes fully charged. The capacitor is then disconnected, and the sepa
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance is as follows as;

C=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, \epsilon _{0} is the permittivity of free space, A is the area and d is the distance between the parallel plate capacitor.

It can be concluded from the above expression, the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance. According to the given problem, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and the distance between the plates is increased. Then, the capacitance of the given capacitor will decrease in this case.

The expression for the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor is as follows;

E=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

Here, E is the energy stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance and Q is the charge.

Energy stored in the given capacitor is inversely proportional to the capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is constant. In the given problem, as the distance between the parallel plates is being separated, the energy stored in this capacitor increases.

Therefore, the option (c) is correct.

Why dont streams flow horizontal
mylen [45]

Answer:

because

Explanation:

streasm dont flow horizontal because if it did then that would be breaking all laws of physics and we know that what goes up must com down but water cant flow upstream only down if it does flow horizontally then it would either be between two hills or in a plains
