Answer:

the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

The terminal velocity is proportional to the square root of weight.

v ∝ √W

v = k√W

the proportionality constant depends upon the surface area and the density of the medium (like air). The coffee filters can be stacked such that the resulting area is roughly unchanged. So, the constant of proportionality k is also unchanged

v/√W = constant

v₂/√W₂ = v₁/√W₁

v₂ = v₁√(W₂ / W₁ )

given that;

v₁ = 0.856 m/s,

W₂ = 14W₁; meaning 14 coffee filters have 14 times the weight of a single coffee filter

so we substitute

v₂ = 0.856 √(14W₁  / W₁ )

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14( W₁/W₁)

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14(1)

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14 )

v₂  = 0.856 × 3.741657

v₂  = 3.2 m/s

Therefore, the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s

As an acapulco cliff diver drops to the water from a height of 42.0 m, his gravitational potential energy decreases by 27,500 j.
seraphim [82]

We know that potential energy is simply energy due to position which has the formula:

PE = mass * gravity * height

We know that mass * gravity is weight, therefore:

PE = weight * height

27500 J = weight * 42 m

Phosphorus-32, a radioactive isotope of phosphorus-31 (atomic number 15), undergoes a form of radioactive decay whereby a neutro
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The product of the decay its Sulfur-32

Explanation:

Phosphorus-32 ( lets write it _{15}^{32}P, where the number above its the atomic mass and the number below the atomic number) decays turning a neutron into a proton and emitting radiation on the form of a electron. This is the beta minus decay, and, actually, an electronic antineutrino its also produced. We can write this decay for an X isotope with a Y isotope produced as:

_{Z}^{A}X \to _{Z+1}^{A}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}

where e^- its the electron, and \bar{\nu_e} the electronic antineutrino . We can see that the atomic number increases by one (cause a proton it produced and retained into the nucleus), and the atomic mass is approximately the same (there is a small difference between the neutron and proton mass, but its very small).

So, Phosphorus-32 (atomic number 15) will turn to an element with atomic number 16, and atomic mass 32, as:

_{15}^{32}P \to _{15+1}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}Y + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

The Y isotope must have an atomic number of 16 and an atomic mass of 32. The element with atomic number 16 its Sulfur (S), so, our decay its

_{15}^{32}P \to _{16}^{32}S + e^- + \bar{\nu_e}.

and the product of such decay its Sulfur-32
