A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and accelerates with gravity to a maximum velocity of 58.8 m/s in 6.00 seconds. She then

pulls the parachute cord and after a 4.00-second constant deceleration, descends at 10.0 m/s for 60.0 seconds, reaching the ground. From what height did the parachutist jump?

Answer:

914m

Explanation:

We must divide the parachutist motion into three parts:

First we have free fall motion:

$y_1=\frac{v_f^2-v_0^2}{2g}\\y_2=\frac{(58.8\frac{m}{s})^2-0^2}{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})}=176.4m$

Then, we have a uniformly accelerated motion. The initial speed is this part will be the same final speed as the previous part.

$a=\frac{v_f-v_0}{t}\\a=\frac{10.0\frac{m}{s}-58.8\frac{m}{s}}{4s}=-12.2\frac{m}{s^2}\\y_2=\frac{v_f^2-v_0^2}{2a}\\y_2=\frac{(10.0\frac{m}{s})^2-(58.8\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(-12.2\frac{m}{s^2})}=137.6m$

Finally, we have a uniform linear motion:

$y_3=v*t\\y_3=10\frac{m}{s}*60s=600m$

The total heigh will be the sum of all heights:

$y=y_1+y_2+y_3\\y=176.4m+137.6m+600m=914m$

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NBA$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2$

$\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2$

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

$\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Put the value into the formula

$\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

$\epsilon =IR$

$IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}$

$Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

$Idt=dq$

$dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

$dq=C dV$

$dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}$

Put the value into the formula

$dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}$

$dV=1.57\ V$

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

What is the most appropriate tool to use when collecting data from the investigation? List, table, graph or chart?

forsale [732]

A table would be the most appropriate because that way you can compare the data.

A particle accelerator fires a proton into a region with a magnetic field that points in the x-direction. (a) If the proton is m

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the magnetic field will act in a direction towards me.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

When a charged particle enters a magnetic field, it is deflected. The direction of travel of the particle is deflected, but the kinetic energy of the particle is not affected. <em>The force experienced by a charged particle as it enters a magnetic field that acts perpendicular to the path of the velocity of the particle, will produce a force that is perpendicular to both the direction of travel of the particle and the direction of the magnetic field.</em> In this case, the proton moves in the y-direction, the magnetic field is in the x-direction, therefore the force experienced by the particle will be towards me.
