When a skydiver falls, he constantly accelerates. Therby, falling faster and faster. But also he is slowed down a bit due to the force of air resistance.

Answer:

Explanation:

As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.

Which wave characteristics is defined as the number of cycles of a periodic wave occurring per unit time?
Assoli18 [71]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Frequency

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Waves are disturbances that travel through a material medium. There are several characteristics of waves, which includes; wavelength, frequency, period and amplitude. </u></em>
  • Amplitude is the maximum displacement of wave particles, or simply the height of the wave, measured in meters.
  • Wavelength is the distance between adjacent crests or troughs in a transverse wave or between two successive rarefaction or compressions in a longitudinal wave, measured in meters.
  • Period is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point, measured in seconds.
  • <em><u>Frequency is the number of complete waves or cycles that pass a point in one second, measured is inverse seconds, or Hertz (Hz).</u></em>

A passenger on your boat falls overboard. what should you do first?
yarga [219]
The very first thing that you should do when a passenger on your boat falls overboard is to throw a PFD or also known as a Personal Flotation Device. This would include anything that can help the passenger to float. But this step would differ, only if the passenger is not wearing a lifevest.

I just need x isolated
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

x=\frac{-y+\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

x=\frac{-y-\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

Explanation:

rx+y=\frac{t}{x}\\\\x(rx+y)=(\frac{t}{x})x\\\\rx^2+yx=t\\\\rx^2+yx-t=t-t\\\\rx^2+yx-t=0

Solve using the quadratic formula.

x=\frac{-y+\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

x=\frac{-y-\sqrt{y^2+4rt} }{2r}

We are going to make an imaginary engine using water. We are going to heat 100 grams of water to 120 C from its initial temperat
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The work done by this engine is 800 cal

Explanation:

Given:

100 g of water

120°C final temperature

22°C initial temperature

30°C is the temperature of condensed steam

Cw = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g °C

Cg = specific heat of steam = 0.48 cal/g °C

Lw = latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g

Question: How much work can be done using this engine, W = ?

First, you need to calculate the heat that it is necessary to change water to steam:

Q_{1} =m_{w} C_{w} (100-22)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)

Here, mw is the mass of water

Q_{1} =(100*1*78)+(100*540)+(100*0.48*20)=62760cal

Now, you need to calculate the heat released by the steam:

Q_{2} =m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{w}(100-30)=(100*0.48*20)+(100*540)+(100*1*70)=61960cal

The work done by this engine is the difference between both heats:

W=Q_{1}-Q_{2}=62760-61960=800cal
