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

How does work done on an object affect its kinetic energy
Alexus [3.1K]

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done on an object by a net force equals the change in kinetic energy of the object. Essentially kinetic energy is the energy used for motion. Interestingly, as work is done on an object, potential energy can be stored in that object. A moving object has kinetic energy because work has been done on it. When work is done energy in one form is transferred to the kinetic energy of the moving object. To stop the object again, the same amount of work would have to be done to bring it back to rest.

Light traveling through air encounter a second medium which slows the light to 2.7 x 10^8. What is the index of the medium?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

1.11

Explanation:

The index of the medium can be calculated using below formula

V= c/ n ............eqn(1)

Where V= velocity of the light is reduced to while traveling through the second medium= 2.7 x 10^8 m/s

n= index of the medium

c= speed of light= 3 x 10^8 m/s

Substitute for the values in eqn(1)

2.7 x 10^8 = (3 x 10^8 m/s)/ n

Making " n" subject of the formula, we have

n= (3 x 10^8 )/(2.7 x 10^8)

n= 1.11

Hence, the index of the medium is 1.11

A 2.3 kg block of copper is heated at atmospheric pressure such that its temperature increases from 6 oC to 90 oC. How much heat
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the  heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat applied to a system is the difference between the initial and final energy considering that the mass and the specific heat do not change so we can infer the following equation

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Where

Q=heat

m=mass=2.3kg

Cp=0.092 kcal/(kg C)=384.93J/kgK

T2=Final temperatura= 90C

T1= initial temperature=6 C

solving

Q=(2.3kg)(384.93\frac{J}{kgC} )(90C-6C)=74368.476J

the  heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J
