uppose that the terminal speed of a particular sky diver is 150 km/h in the spread-eagle position and 320 km/h in the nosedive p

osition. Assuming that the diver's drag coefficient C does not change from one position to the other, find the ratio of the effective cross-sectional area A in the slower position to that in the faster position (Aslower / Afaster).

Answer:

4.55

Explanation:

The terminal speed of a diver is given by:

v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{C\rho A} } \\\\Where\ m=mass\ of \ driver,d=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity,C=drag\ \\coefficient,A=cross\ sectional\ Area.\\\\Therefore:\\\\A=\frac{2mg}{C \rho v_t^2} \\\\For\ area\ with\ terminal\ speed\ in\ spread\ angle\ position(v_s):\\\\A_s=\frac{2mg}{C \rho v_s^2} \\\\For\ area\ with\ terminal\ speed\ in\ nose\ dive\ position(v_n):\\\\A_n=\frac{2mg}{C \rho v_n^2}\\\\Therefore\ since\ g,m,C,\rho\ are\ constant:\\\\

\frac{A_s}{A_n}= \frac{\frac{2mg}{C \rho v_s^2}}{\frac{2mg}{C \rho v_n^2}}\\\\\frac{A_s}{A_n}= \frac{v_n}{v_s} \\\\v_n=320\ km/h,v_s=150\ km/h\\\\\frac{A_s}{A_n}=\frac{320^2}{150^2} =4.55

Identify how scientists use radioactive isotopes by selecting the best answers from the drop-down menus. Archaeologists use radi
salantis [7]

Answer:

Archaeologist use radioactive isotopes to determine the ages of various objects, rocks and materials. This is called radioactive dating. Radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is widely used for this dating process.

Scientists use radioactive isotopes in agriculture to monitor or study the uptake and use of essential nutrients by plants from the soil. This helps to determine viability, productivity and nutritious ability of the plants on a piece of land.

Geologists use radioactive isotopes to trace leaks in underground water storage, pipes. Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity can be easily detected.

Tanzania [10]
Without a change in pressure

V/T = V/T
Before change = after change - expansion

x = volume at m3

(0.5)/20 = x/45

.025 = x/45

.025 * 45 = x

1 = x

The volume of this gas is 1 m3.

Hope this helps :) also the gas expanded .5 of m3.

1) A plane's velocity increases from 40 m/s to 100 m/s over a 10 second interval. What is the plane's average acceleration for t
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

average acceleration = 6 \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Recall that the average acceleration (a)  is defined by the change in velocity from an initial velocity (v_i), to a final velocity (v_f) over the time (t) it took that change to happen. Then, in mathematical terms this is:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

with our information this becomes:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t} = \frac{100-40}{10}=6\,\frac{m}{s^2}

A student tests the electrical conduction of four materials.
ella [17]

Answer:

A. aluminum, iron, and silver only

Explanation:

metal elements are great conductors; aluminum, iron, and silver are all metals.

plastic isn't an element, but it still doesn't conduct electricity very well because it isn't a metal

(so I would leave out plastic, because you can only choose 3 max based on the answer choices)
