a = 7.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let Fnet = net force = ma

m = mass of the skydiver

a = acceleration caused by Fnet

W = weight = mg

f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance

Fnet = W - f(air)

= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)

= 780 N

Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is

a = Fnet/m

= (780 N)/(100 kg)

= 7.8 m/s^2

Why is Tycho Brahe often called “the greatest naked-eye astronomer” of all time?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:Explained Below

Explanation:

Tycho Brahe saw a super nova which inspired him to study astronomy.His observations are 5 times more accurate than other astronomers of his time   and thus he was given a private island to study about astronomy  .He made most accurate naked eye measurements ever.

So he can be said to be the "greatest naked eye astronomer of all time"

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

                                           =2 feet

                                           =2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

                     Distance Jumped=2+2

                     Distance Jumped=2*2

                                                   =4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

                    Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

                    Distance Jumped=2*7

                                                 =14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

So

              Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

                                           =14+3

                                           =17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

How does a vacuum flask keep drinks hot? Explain in terms of conduction, convection and radiation.
Flura [38]
Vacum flask has inner layer of glass and outer body of plastic.the glass has a reflective metal layer..when a hot drink is poured into the flask it prevents conduction.tight lid stops the convection.when radiation tries to leave the hot drink the reflective layer of the glass reflects it back so no heat can escape.

When a piano tuner strikes both the A on the piano and a 440 Hz tuning fork, he hears a beat every 2 seconds. The frequency of t
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The  frequency is  f = 439.5 \  Hz        

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The frequency of the  tuning fork is  f_t  =  440 \ Hz

   The beat period is  T  =  2 \  s

Generally the beat frequency is mathematically represented as

       f_b  =  \frac{1}{T}

       f_b  =  \frac{1}{2}

      f_b  = 0.5 \  Hz

The  beat frequency is also represented mathematically as

     f_b  =  f_t  -  f

Where  f is the frequency of the piano

 So

       f =  440 -  0.5  

       f = 439.5 \  Hz
