Answer:
Explanation:
Given data
Terminal velocity for spread eagle position vt=130 km/h
Terminal velocity for nosedive position vt=326 km/h
The terminal speed of the diver is given by
Therefore the area is given by
Since everything else is constant in the two dives except for the terminal velocity, the ratio between the area in the slow position to the area in the fast position is
Answer:
4.2 m
Explanation:
Note: If energy is conserved, i.e no work is done against friction
Work input = work output.
Work output = Force output × distance,
Work input = force input × distance moved moved.
Therefore,
input force×distance moved = output force × distance moved........................Equation 1
Given: input force = 80 N, output force = 240 N, output distance = 1.4 m
Let input distance = d
Substitute into equation 1
80×d = 240×1.4
80d = 336
d = 336/80
d = 4.2 m.
Thus the rope around the pulley must be pulled 4.2 m
Answer:
a) 6636 km
b) 0.0154
Explanation:
The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km
The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km
Radius of the Earth is 6370 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km
If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.
Basically,
2a = R + r
a = (R + r) / 2
a = (6738 + 6534) / 2
a = 13272 / 2
a = 6636 km
Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a
Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 0.0154
