The sun does not move it is actually the rotation of the earth on.it's axis that makes the sun appear to be moving

Hey there,

<em />Answer:

The sun appears to move across the sky but it is actually the earth which is orbiting around the sun.

Hope this helps :D

aalyn [17]

The frequency at which the body vibrates breaks is natural frequency. The glass with her voice because the frequency of her voice matches the natural frequency of the glass.

<h3>What is the natural frequency?</h3>

When there is no external force acting on the body unless the body vibrates is known as the natural frequency of vibration.it is denoted by $\rm w_n$ .

when the frequency of a body matches the natural frequency a condition occurs known as resonance.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

(a) The parachutist spent 24.84 secs in air

(b) The height the fall begins is 472 m

Explanation:

Here is the complete question:

A parachutist bails out and freely falls 63 m. Then the parachute opens, and thereafter she decelerates at 1.5 m/s2. She reaches the ground with a speed of 3.3 m/s. (a) How long is the parachutist in the air (b) At what height does the fall begin?

Explanation:

From one of the equations of kinematics for free fall

$H = ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where H is the height

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

and g is the acceleration due to gravity (Take g = 9.8 m/s2)

Now, we can find the time spent before the parachute opens.

u = 0 m/s (we assume the parachutist starts from rest)

H = - 63 m

∴ $-63 = 0(t) - \frac{1}{2}(0.98) t^{2} \\-63 = -4.9 t\\t^{2} = \frac{63}{4.9} \\t^{2} = 12.86\\t = \sqrt{12.86} \\t = 3.59 s$

This the time spent before the parachute opens

Also from one of the equations of kinematics for free fall

$v = u - gt$

where v is the final velocity

We can determine the final velocity before the parachute opens and she starts to decelerate

∴ $v = - 9.8(3.59)\\v = - 35.18m/s$

Now, we will calculate the time spent after the parachute opens

From one of the equation of kinematics for linear motion,

$v = u + at$

Here, the initial velocity will be the final velocity just before the parachute opens, that is

$u = - 35.18 m/s$

From the question,

$v = - 3.3 m/s$

$a = 1.5 m/s^{2}$

We then get

$-3.3 = - 35.18 + (1.5)t$

$-3.3 + 35.18 = 1.5t\\31.88 = 1.5t$

$t = \frac{31.88}{1.5}$

$t = 21.25 secs$

(a) To determine how long the parachutist is in the air,

That is sum of the time used when falling freely and the time used after the parachute opens

= 3.59 secs + 21.25 secs

24.84 secs

Hence, the parachutist spent 24.84 secs in air

(b) To determine what height the fall begins

First, we will calculate the height from which the parachute opens

From one of the equation of kinematics for linear motion,

$x = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\$

$x = -35.18(21.25) + \frac{1}{2}(1.5)(21.25)^{2} \\x = -747.58 + 338.67\\x = -408.91m\\$

$x$ ≅ $- 409m$

Hence, the height the fall begins is 63m + 409m

= 472 m

According to Lenz's law, an induced current in the direction depicted in the picture would be created when: a. An external downw

LenKa [72]

Answer:

C. An external downward field is created or an external downward field is removed

Explanation:

As we can see that from the attached figure that the induced current would be counter clockwise. So the field occur because of induced current i.e. out of page. This represent that the current is induced in order to rise the flux out of the direction of the page

Therefore because of the external field, the field out of page & flux would be reducing or the external upward field is eliminated

So option C is correct

Pls answer this ,today is last day of classes then I got finals soon lol

KIM [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The law of conversation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. The pendulum slows down and stops eventually not because the kinetic energy is destroyed, but it is transferred into sound and heat energy instead because there is air resistance and friction.

Kinetic energy => Gravitational potential energy (Loop but some energy transferring to heat and sound each time)
