The graph shows how the vertical velocity of a parachutist changes from the moment the parachutist jumps from the aircraft until

landing on the ground. Using the idea of forces, explain why the parachutist reaches a terminal velocity and why opening the parachute reduces the terminal velocity.
Physics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. ... The skydiver thus slows down. As the speed decreases, the amount of air resistance also decreases until once more the skydiver reaches a terminal velocity.

The energy from radiation can be used to cause the rupture of chemical bonds. A minimum energy of 242kJ/mol is required to break
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The longest wavelength of radiation that passesses the necessary energy for breaking the Cl- Cl bond (in Cl2) is approximately 494.2 nm, which corresponds to the visible spectrum.

Explanation:

In order to answer this question we need to recall that the energy of a photon is given by:

E = hc/lambda,   where

E = energy

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light in vacuum

lambda = associated photon wavelength

In order to perform the calculations, first we need to change the units of 242kJ/mol to J. For doing this, we to divide by Avogadro's number and multiply by a 1000:

242kJ/mol = (242kJ/mol)*(1mol/6.022x10^23 particles)*(1000J/1kJ)= 4.0186x10^-19 J

Now, we simply solve for lambda and substitute the appropriate values in the energy equation:

lambda = hc/E = (6.626x10^-34 J s)*(3x10^8 m/s)/(4.0186x10^-19 J) = (1.986x10^-25 J m)/(4.0186x10^-19 J) = 4.942x10^-7 m = 494.2x10^-9 m = 494.2 nm

Therefore, the wavelength for a photon to break the Cl-Cl bond in a Cl2 molecule should be 494.2 nm at most, which corresponds to the visible spectrum (The visible spectrum includes wavelengths between 400 nm and 750 nm).

How far apart are the fringes in the center of the pattern on a screen 4.3 m away? Express your answer to two significant figure
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

d = \frac{nLembda}{sin(theta)}

Explanation:

This comes from diffrection pattern equation used to locate fringe pattern, i will explain every variable in it here.

n = order of fringe = 0 1 2 3 .. and negative integars as well.

d is sacing between slits.

Theta = angle at which light-Ray is directed towards fringe.

It appears that the distance between consectice fringes would same as the distance between two slits 'd'.

therefore calculating that distance should give us the distance between two fringe patters.

Note we don't use transversal seperation distance here.

2. In contrast to Venus, the coldest temperature yet measured on the surface of
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Temperature Scales </u>

There are three temperature scales in the modern sciences: Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. Fahrenheit temperature scale assigns the value 32 for the freezing point of water and 212 for the boiling point of water and divides that interval into 180 parts. Celsius scale has a similar reference, giving 0 to the freezing point of water and 100 for the boiling point of water. The conversion between them is as follows

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}C+32

K=C+273.15

The coldest temperature yet measured on the surface of any body in the solar system is -235°C. Converting to Fahrenheit

\displaystyle F=\frac{9}{5}(-235)+32=-391^oF

K=-235+273.15=38.15^oK
