What is the reaction force for sky diving?

Physics

DIA [1.3K]2 years ago

As the skydiver accelerates she gains momentum, and the air she passes through creates a resistance that pushes back up at her, increasing drag. Eventually, the force of the resisting air balances out with the force of gravity, and the skydiver stops speeding up

A car with a mass of 3 Kg and velocity of 40 m/s collided with a truck of a velocity of 60 m/s, if the momentum is conserved wha
Luden [163]

Answer:

the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m₁ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 40 m/s

initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 60 m/s

let the mass of the truck = m₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momemtum;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

m₂ = (m₁u₁) / u₂

m₂ = (3 x 40) / (60)

m₂ = 2 kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .
vlabodo [156]

Answer: 90\°

Explanation:

The Compton Shift \Delta \lambda in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)     (1)

Where:

\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m is a constant whose value is given by \frac{h}{m_{e}c}, being h the Planck constant, m_{e} the mass of the electron and c the speed of light in vacuum.

\theta) the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180\°:

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))     (2)

\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))    

\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}     (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (4)

\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)      (5)

If we want \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}, 1-cos\theta   must be equal to 1:

1-cos\theta=1   (6)

Finding \theta:

1-1=cos\theta

0=cos\theta  

\theta=cos^{-1} (0)  

Finally:

\theta=90\°    This is the scattering angle that will produce \frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}
