What is the reaction force for sky diving?

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

The objects listed are placed at the top of a ramp and roll down to the bottom without slipping. Assuming that there is no air r
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

For each object, the initial potential energy is converted to rotational energy and translational energy:

PE = RE + KE

mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²

For the marble (a solid sphere), I = ⅖ mr².

For the basketball (a hollow sphere), I = ⅔ mr².

For the manhole cover (a solid cylinder), I = ½ mr².

For the wedding ring (a hollow cylinder), I = mr².

If we say k is the coefficient in each case:

mgh = ½ (kmr²) ω² + ½ mv²

For rolling without slipping, ωr = v:

mgh = ½ kmv² + ½ mv²

gh = ½ kv² + ½ v²

2gh = (k + 1) v²

v² = 2gh / (k + 1)

The smaller the value of k, the higher the velocity.  Therefore:

marble > manhole cover > basketball > wedding ring

Last night, Shirley worked on her accounting homework for one and one half hours. During that time, she completed 6 problems. Wh
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

velocity in problems per hour = 4 per hour

so correct option is b. 4 per hour

Explanation:

given data

worked on  homework time = 1.5 hour

completed = 6 problems

to find out

What is the velocity in problems per hour

solution

we know that Shirley solve complete 6 accounting homework problem in 1.5 hour so her velocity  in problems per hour will be as

velocity in problems per hour =  \frac{complete\ problem}{time\ taken}   ..................1

put here value we will get

velocity in problems per hour =  \frac{6}{1.5}

velocity in problems per hour = 4 per hour

so correct option is b. 4 per hour

On an alien planet, a simple pendulum of length 0.300 m has oscillation frequency 0.709 Hz. Find the period of the pendulum. Fin
sweet [91]

Answer:

1.41s

5.95m/s

0.2746m

Explanation:

The time period

T = 1/f

= 1/0.709s

= 1.41 seconds

We have

T = 2π√l/g

T² = 4π²l/g

g = 4π²l/T²

g = 4x3.14²x0.300/1.41²

g = 5.95m/s² this is the acceleration due to gravity.

Then the time period of the glide

T2 = 2π√m/k

Length of pendulum = l

Time period T

T2 = 2π√l/g

Then T1 = T2

2π√m/k = 2π√l/g

M/k = l/g

L = g.m/k

L = 5.95x0.450/9.75

L = 0.2746

This must be the length of the simple pendulum
