Answer:

the diver's speed is independent of the launch height.

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Newton's second law

              fr - W = m a

the friction force has the general form

              fr = b v

Let's analyze this equation to find out what happens with the speed of the distant club.

When jumping, the initial speed is zero, so the friction force is zero and has an acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity, as the speed increases the friction force increases decreasing the acceleration until it becomes zero, when it arrives at this value the velocity it has is called terminal velocity and this velocity remains fixed in relation to the trajectory.

             fr = W

             v = cte

The distance or time in which this equilibrium is reached is relatively fast, so the diver's speed is independent of the launch height.

A plane passes over Point A with a velocity of 8000 m/s north. Forty seconds later it passes over Point B at a velocity of 10,00
Airida [17]

Answer:

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the initial velocity u is 8000m/s

and also given the final velocity v=10,000 m/s

the time taken to move from A to B = 40 second

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time

we know that the expression for acceleration is given as

a=(v-u)/t

substituting our given data into the expression for a we have

a=(10000-8000)/40

a=2000/40

a=500m/s^2

The planes’ acceleration from A to B is 500m/s^2

Which states of matter are significantly compressible?
andreev551 [17]
Hello.


The gaseous state is the more compressible state, because it has the volume of its container.

The liquid state is virtually incompressible, and the solid state compression is very small.

The plasma is another state that has high compression, but in this case the matter is not bound(we don't have the proton in the core of the atom)

The total distance a group of movers move a refrigerator is 22 m. If they complete this task in 15 minutes, their efforts would
lianna [129]

Answer:

Their efforts would be expressed in units of Joules per second

Explanation:

The unit of their efforts can be derived from the formula of power which is given by the product of mass, acceleration and distance (the product is energy with unit joules) divided by time taken to complete the task (unit is seconds)

Therefore, the unit of their efforts would be joules per second
