A 90-kg skydiver jumps from a height of 6000 m above the ground, falling head-first (pike position). The area of the diver is 0.

14 m^2. The value for C is 1.0, and the density of air is 1.21 kg/m^3. Determine the terminal velocity.
a. 49 m/s
b. 68 m/s
c. 83 m/s

Answer:

The correct option is d: 102 m/s.

Explanation:

The terminal velocity is given by:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho AC}}   (1)

Where:

m: is the mass = 90 kg

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A: is the area = 0.14 m²

C: is the drag coefficient = 1.0  

ρ: is the density of the air = 1.21 kg/m³  

Now, by entering the above values into equation (1) we have:

v = \sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho AC}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*90 kg*9.81 m/s^{2}}{1.21 kg/m^{3}*0.14 m^{2}*1.0}} = 102 m/s

Therefore, the correct option is d: 102 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

A block of 250-mm length and 48 × 40-mm cross section is to support a centric compressive load P. The material to be used is a b
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

153.6 kN

Explanation:

The elastic constant k of the block is

k = E * A/l

k = 95*10^9 * 0.048*0.04/0.25 = 729.6 MN/m

0.12% of the original length is:

0.0012 * 0.25 m = 0.0003  m

Hooke's law:

F = x * k

Where x is the change in length

F = 0.0003 * 729.6*10^6 = 218.88 kN (maximum force admissible by deformation)

The compressive load will generate a stress of

σ = F / A

F = σ * A

F = 80*10^6 * 0.048 * 0.04 = 153.6 kN

The smallest admisible load is 153.6 kN

What two factors directly affect the acceleration of an object?
marin [14]

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of the force applied to it. It states that the acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass.

How could you make a sound wave sound louder
kykrilka [37]
If you clap your hands, the shock causes the air around your hands to begin vibrating. When air particles vibrate, they bump into other particles near them. Then these particles begin to vibrate and bump into even more air particles. When the air particles begin vibrating the air inside your ear, you hear a sound.
