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.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

c. hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior

Explanation:

Granulation is the grainy appearance of the solar photosphere produced by the top of the convection cells in the sun.

The grainy appearance are produced by granules on the photosphere of the sun and granules are caused by convection currents of plasma within the sun's convection zone.

The interior of these granules are brighter (and thus hotter) than the exterior of the granules which are darker.

So, the granulation pattern that astronomers have observed on the surface of the Sun tells us that hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior.

In Lesson 20, a magnesium strip was used to ignite the thermite reaction. When magnesium is placed in a flame from a small blow

nadezda [96]

Answer:

2 electrons will be needed by unbound oxygen in order to fill its 2nd shell.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between magnesium and oxygen gives magnesium oxide as a product.The reaction is chemically represented as:

$2Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MgO(s)$
