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

What best describes the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave? The medium does not move. The medium moves in all
Citrus2011 [14]

In the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave, the medium vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave.

<h3>What is a longitudinal wave?</h3>

A longitudinal wave is a wave that is transversing along the length. When the displacement of medium and travel of wave is the same in that condition wave is known as the longitudinal wave.

It requires some medium to travel. A mechanical and sound wave is an example of a longitudinal wave.

Hence in the motion of the medium particles in a longitudinal wave, the medium vibrates parallel to the direction of the wave.

To learn more about the longitudinal wave refer to the link;

In a very large closed tank, the absolute pressure of the air above the water is 6.46 x 105 Pa. The water leaves the bottom of t
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

a) 35.94 ms⁻²

b) 65.85 m

Explanation:

Take down the data:

ρ = 1000kg/m3

a) First, we need to establish the total pressure of the water in the tank. Note the that the tanks is closed. It means that the total pressure, Ptot,  at the bottom of the tank is the sum of the pressure of the water plus the air trapped between the tank rook and water. In other words:

Ptot = Pgas + Pwater

However, the air is the one influencing the water to move, so elimininating Pwater the equation becomes:

Ptot  = Pgas

        = 6.46 × 10⁵ Pa

The change in pressure is given by the continuity equation:

ΔP = 1/2ρv²

where v is the velocity of the water as it exits the tank.

Calculating:

6.46 × 10⁵  =1/2 ×1000×v²

solving for v, we get v = 35.94 ms⁻²

b) The Bernoulli's equation will be applicable here.

The water is coming out with the same pressure, therefore, the equation will be:

ΔP = ρgh

6.46 × 10⁵  = 1000 x 9.81 x h

h = 65.85 meters

A train rolls past a stationary observer. To him, the train is moving at a speed of 23m/s west, and a woman on the train is movi
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

21.7 seconds.

Explanation:

Woman's velocity relative to train (23 m/s - 22.4 m/s) = 0.6 m/s

Distance woman wants to travel = 13m

To find how long she will take to move 13m relative to the train, take the distance she wants to travel divided by her velocity relative to the train.

(13m)/(0.6 m/s) = 21.6667 seconds or 21.7 seconds.  

Therefore, it will take the woman 21.7 seconds to move 13m.
