Some units of length are: meters, centimeters, kilometers, etc...

Sisteme International recognises only meters.
In physics calculations we use only meters.

However, there are also multimeters, kilometres, ft, miles

A 52 kg and a 95 kg skydiver jump from an airplane at an altitude of 4750 m, both falling in the pike position. Assume all value

Scilla [17]

Answer: 52 kg skydiver: 9.09 m/s and 522.55 s

95 kg skydiver: 12.3 m/s and 386.2 s

Explanation: Drag Force is an opposite force when an object is moving in a fluid.

For skydivers, when falling through the air, the forces acting on it are gravitational and drag forces. At a certain point, drag force equals gravitational force, which is constant on any part of the planet, producing a net force that is zero. Since there is no net force, there is no acceleration and, consequently, velocity is constant. When that happens, the person reached the Terminal Velocity.

Drag Force and Velocity are proportional to the squared speed. So, terminal velocity is given by:

$F_{G}=F_{D}$

$mg=\frac{1}{2}C \rho Av_{T}^{2}$

$v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA} }$

where

m is mass in kg

g is acceleration due to gravitational force in m/s²

ρ is density of the fluid in kg/m³

C is drag coefficient

A is area of the object in the fluid in m²

Calculating:

The 52kg skydiver has terminal velocity of:

$v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2(52)(9.8)}{(1.21)(0.7)(0.14)} }$

$v_{T}=$ 9.09

The 95kg skydiver's terminal velocity is

$v_{T}=\sqrt{\frac{2(95)(9.8)}{(1.21)(0.7)(0.14)} }$

$v_{T}=$ 12.3

The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' terminal velocity are 9.09m/s and 12.3m/s, respectively.

The time each one will reach the floor will be:

52 kg at 9.09 m/s:

$t=\frac{4750}{9.09}$

t = 522.5

95 kg at 12.3 m/s:

$t=\frac{4750}{12.3}$

t = 386.2

The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' time to reach the floor are 522.5 s and 386.2 s, respectively.

Water is flowing in a pipe with a circular cross section but with varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water comp

slamgirl [31]

(a) 5.66 m/s

The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by

$Q=Av$

where

Q is the flow rate

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

Here we have

$Q=1.20 m^3/s$

the radius of the pipe is

r = 0.260 m

So the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.260 m)^2=0.212 m^2$

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:

$v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.20 m^3/s}{0.212 m^2}=5.66 m/s$

(b) 0.326 m

The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:

$Q_1 = Q_2\\A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where we have

$A_1 = 0.212 m^2\\v_1 = 5.66 m/s\\v_2 = 3.60 m/s$

and where $A_2$ is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.

Solving for A2,

$A_2 = \frac{A_1 v_1}{v_2}=\frac{(0.212 m^2)(5.66 m/s)}{3.60 m/s}=0.333 m^2$

And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{A_2}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.333 m^2}{\pi}}=0.326 m$

In the equation F = Kq1 q2/r2 solve for q2. Solve for r.

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

r = √(k q₁ q₂ / F)

Explanation:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

Multiply both sides by r²:

F r² = k q₁ q₂

Divide both sides by F:

r² = k q₁ q₂ / F

Take the square root of both sides:

r = √(k q₁ q₂ / F)

8. When you see a stopped local bus (1 point)

elena55 [62]

Answer: be alert for pedestrians near the bus.

Explanation: Due to road accidents many Governments around the world has adopted and put in place certain rules and regulations with regards to road safety, this is so to prevent the or reduce the chances of accidents happening.

Road safety rules are rules and guidelines put in place by Government in order to prevent road accidents and maintain a free flow of traffic. An example of such rules is 'be alert for pedestrians near the bus ' when approaching a local bus that is stopped.
