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!

Accuracy describes how close a measurement is to the truest value while precision shows how close the measurements are to one another when repeated analysis of the same measurements are performed. Precision most likely is free from any any variation.

An electric drill
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Incomplete question. Complete question is: An electric drill starts from rest and rotates with a constant angular acceleration. After the drill has rotated through a certain angle, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of a point on the drill is twice the magnitude of the tangential acceleration. Determine the angle through which the drill rotates by this point.

The answer is :  Δ θ = 1 rad

Explanation:

Ok, so the condition involves the centripetal acceleration and the tangential acceleration, so let’s start by writing expressions for each:

Ac= centripetal acceleration            At= tangential acceleration

Ac = V² / r                                                At = r α  

Because we have to determine the angle ultimately, therefore we should convert the linear velocity into angular velocity in the expression for centripetal acceleration

V = r ω

Ac = (r ω)² / r = r² ω² / r

Ac = r ω²

now that we have expressions for the centripetal and tangential acceleration, we can write an equation that expresses the condition given: The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration is twice the magnitude of the tangential acceleration.

Ac = 2 At

That is,  

r ω² = 2 r α

it is equivalent to;

ω²  = 2 α

now we have the relation between angular speed and angular acceleration, but we also need to determine the angular displacement as well. Therefore choose a kinematics equation that doesn’t involve time because time is not mentioned in the question. Thus,  

ω² – ω°² = 2 α Δ θ

such that ω° = 0

and ω² = 2 α

therefore;

2 α - 0 = 2 α Δ θ

2 α = 2 α Δ θ

So the angle will be :  Δ θ = 1 rad

Whats is the definition of Parallel Circuit
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
A parallel circuit is one in which there's a place where the flow of current
can split up and follow different paths.

An example might be: 
Two lamps plugged into the same outlet and both turned on.

Current that comes out of the outlet splits up, and parts of it flow
through each lamp.
