How do the forces on a skydiver affect the velocity of the skydiver as they fall? Hellp

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.

A glass falls from a table top and smashes on the floor 0.6 seconds later. How high is the table?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

1.8 m

Explanation:

Given: Glass falls from a table, smashes 0.6 seconds later

To find: How high a table is

Formula: Vv=gt, dv=1/2gt^2, t=2d/g

Solution: A table's height is measured from the top of the edge down to the floor. The tables are shown both have a height of 30 inches, which is common for many tables.

Data

t = 0.6s

g = 9.81 m/s²

d = ?

Equation

d = $\frac{1}{2}$ $gt$ ²

Math & Units

d = 4.905 (0.6²)
d = 442.676

Hence the table is 1.8 m high

The escape velocity at the surface of Earth is approximately 11 km/s. What is the mass, in units of ME (the mass of the Earth),

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:11 km/s

Explanation:

Given

Escape velocity at the surface of earth is 11 km/s

Escape velocity is given by

$V_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Escape velocity at the surface of earth

$11=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ --------------------1

If Escape velocity is three times and the radius is also the three times

$V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2G(3M)}{3R}}$

$V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=V_e$

i.e. $V_e_2=11 km/s$

Bambi the young dear was distracted Buy butterfly and jumped into the road in front of the two vehicles as shown in the diagram

bagirrra123 [75]

Speed of car A is given as

$v_a = 70 mph$

now we need to convert it into SI units

1 miles = 1609 m

1 hour = 3600 s

now we have

$v_a = 70 *\frac{1609}{3600} = 31.3 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_a = 350 m$

time taken by it to hit the Bambi

$t = \frac{d}{v}$

$t = \frac{350}{31.3}$

$t = 11.2 s$

Now other car is moving at speed 50 mph

so its speed in SI unit will be

$v_b = 50* \frac{1609}{3600}$

$v_b = 22.35 m/s$

now its distance from Bambi is given as

$d_b = 590 feet$

as we know that 1 feet = 0.3048 m

$d_b = 590*0.3048 = 179.83 m$

now the time to hit the other car is

$t_2 = \frac{179.83}{22.35}$

$t_b = 8.05 s$

So Car B will hit the Bambi first

An experiment is designed to investigate the relation between the pressure and temperature in a tank that has a constant volume

viva [34]

Answer:

3rd order polynomial

Explanation:

Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence :

The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias
