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

In an electromagnetics lab, you are studying two coils which have a mutual inductance of M=300 mH. Suppose that the current in t
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The mutual inductance of the two coils is

M = 300mH = 300 × 10^-3 H

M = 0.3 H

Current increase in the coil from 2.8A to 10A

∆I = I_2 - I_1 = 10 - 2.8

∆I = 7.2 A

Within the time 300ms

t = 300ms = 300 × 10^-3

t = 0.3s

Second Coil resistance

R_2 = 0.4 ohms

We want to find the current in the second coil,

The same induced EMF is in both coils, so let find the EMF,

From faradays law

ε = Mdi/dt

ε = M•∆I / ∆t

ε = 0.3 × 7.2 / 0.3

ε = 7.2 Volts

Now, this is the voltage across both coils,

Applying ohms law to the second coil, V=IR

ε = I_2•R_2

0.72 = I_2 • 0.4

I_2 = 0.72 / 0.4

I_2 = 1.8 Amps

The current in the second coil is 1.8A

sports photographers often use large aperture, long focal length lenses. what limitations do these lenses impose on the photogra
Brut [27]

Answer:

The depth of focus achievable with those lenses is small.

Explanation:

A larger aperture makes it much harder to focus on more than one object. When using a telephoto lens (the ones the question is referring to), the depth of focus is very small. For example, using a telephoto lens to take a photo of a runner might get the runner in focus, but certainly not the track, or the audience behind them. If you look at photos, especially older photos, of Olympians in almost any sport you can see this.

Hope this helps!

An elevator accelerates upward at 1.2 m/s 2 . the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . what is the upward force exerted by the
Marysya12 [62]
We can find the force by using the following formula;
N = ma +  mg
Fa = ma = 76 x 1.2 = 91.2
Fg = mg = 76 x 9.8 = 744.8
N = 91.2 + 744.8 = 836
So, the force is 836 N.

Why does your hand feel cool if you spill some alcohol on it?
son4ous [18]
<span>It takes heat to make something evaporate, so it takes heat from your arm. Alcohol easily evaporates at room temperature, so it feels cool. This is also why you feel cool when getting out of the pool. The water on your skin evaporates.
