**URGENT** Now lets look at a skydiver who jumps out of a plane that has a forward velocity of 40 m/s. ignore air resistance. Af

If there's no air resistance, then the diver keeps moving horizontally at 40 m/s, even after s/he jumps out of a perfectly good airplane.

Also, gravity ADDS 9.8 m/s of downward speed for every second the diver falls.

One second after leaving the airplane, the diver is moving horizontally at 40 m/s, and moving vertically downward at 9.8 m/s .

The question asks for the "downward velocity".  That's 9.8 m/s .


The diver's TOTAL velocity is

                       √ (40² + 9.8²)

                   =  √ (1,600 m²/s² + 96.04 m²/s²)

                   =  √ (1,696.04 m²/s²)

                   =        41.2 m/s  in some direction between
                                           straight forward and straight down.

A heavy stone of mass m is hung from the ceiling by a thin 8.25-g wire that is 65.0 cm long. When you gently pluck the upper end
Dominik [7]

Answer:

wavelength = 0.8989 m

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of wire is 8.25 g

length of wire is 65 cm

speed of sound in room is 344 m/s

time of returning of pulse is 7.84 ms

There are three time period

Time period = \frac{7.84\times 10^{-3}}{3} = 2.6133\times 10^{-3} s

frequency = \frac{1}{T}

                  =\frac{ 1}{2.6133\times 10^{-3})} = 382.6579 Hz

velocity = wavelength × frequency

wavelength = \frac{velocity}{frequency}

                   = \frac{344}{382.6579}

wavelength = 0.8989 m

A box is being pulled to the right over a rough surface. t > fk , so the box is speeding up. Suddenly the rope breaks. What h
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a. keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.

Explanation:

Since the tension in the rope, t is greater than the kinetic friction fk, the box is moving forward because there is a net force on it. That is, t - fk = f = ma.

Since there is a net force, there is an acceleration and thus an increasing velocity.

When the rope breaks, the tension, t = 0. So, t - fk = 0 - fk = -fk = ma'.

Now, the net force acting on the box is friction in the opposite direction. This force tends to slow the box down from its initial velocity at acceleration, 'a' until its velocity is zero, where it stops. Since the frictional force is constant, the acceleration, a' on the box is thus constant and the box undergoes uniform deceleration until its velocity is zero.

<u>So, the box keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.</u>

So, the answer is a.

A certain radio wave has a frequency of 2.0 x 10^6 Hz. What is its wavelength?
evablogger [386]

<span>1.    </span>Electromagnetic radiation are represented in waves. Each type of wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between two peaks in a wave is called the wavelength. This value is equal to the speed of light divided by the frequency.

<span>
Wavelength = c/f
Wavelength = 3x10^8 / </span><span>2.0 x 10^6</span>

Wavelength = 150 m
