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

A mechanic has a wrench where the hand grip is 0.40 m from the axis of the bolt. To apply a torque of 170 N m with this wrench w
Grace [21]

Answer:

4.3 * 10 N

Explanation:

To calculate torque, we multiply the distance from the pivot by the perpendicular (the part of the force that acts at right angles to the displacement vector) component of the force to the displacement vector from the pivot.

torque  = distance from pivot *  perpendicular force

170 Nm= 0.4 m * F

F = 425 N = 4.3 * 10 N rounded off to two significant figures

9. When making a circuit, why is gold wiring not used?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Gold is not used for making electric wires because it is too rare, and too costlier than Copper. Silver and copper are used for making wires. Copper is almost used in electric lines

Hey help me plzzzzz i will mark brainliest​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage (MA) = Load (L)/Effort (E)

MA = L/E

Velocity ratio (VR) = Distance moved by load (l) / Distance moved by effort (e)

VR = l/e

Efficiency = work done by machine (Wd) /work put into the machine (Wp) x 100

Efficiency = Wd/Wp x100

Recall:

Work = Force x distance

Therefore,

Work done by machine (wd) = load (L) x distance (l)

Wd = L x l

Work put into the machine (Wp) = effort (E) x distance (e)

Wp = E x e

Note: the load and effort are measured in Newton (N), while the distance is measured in metre (m)

Efficiency = Wd/Wp x100

Efficiency = (L x l) / (E x e) x 100

Rearrange

Efficiency = L/E ÷ l/e x 100

But:

MA = L/E

VR = l/e

Therefore,

Efficiency = L/E ÷ l/e x 100

Efficiency = MA ÷ VR x 100

Efficiency = MA / VR x 100
