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 rod of length Lo moves iwth a speed v along the horizontal direction. The rod makes an angle of (θ)0 with respect to the x' ax
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

From the question we are told that

  The length of the rod is  L_o

    The  speed is  v  

     The angle made by the rod is  \theta

     

Generally the x-component of the rod's length is  

     L_x =  L_o cos (\theta )

Generally the length of the rod along the x-axis  as seen by the observer, is mathematically defined by the theory of  relativity as

       L_xo  =  L_x  \sqrt{1  - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

=>     L_xo  =  [L_o cos (\theta )]  \sqrt{1  - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }

Generally the y-component of the rods length  is mathematically represented as

      L_y  =  L_o  sin (\theta)

Generally the length of the rod along the y-axis  as seen by the observer, is   also equivalent to the actual  length of the rod along the y-axis i.e L_y

    Generally the resultant length of the rod as seen by the observer is mathematically represented as

     L_r  =  \sqrt{ L_{xo} ^2 + L_y^2}

=>  L_r  = \sqrt{[ (L_o cos(\theta) [\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} }\ \ ]^2+ L_o sin(\theta )^2)}

=>  L_r= \sqrt{ (L_o cos(\theta)^2 * [ \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } ]^2 + (L_o sin(\theta))^2}

=>   L_r  = \sqrt{(L_o cos(\theta) ^2 [1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} ] +(L_o sin(\theta))^2}

=> L_r =  \sqrt{L_o^2 * cos^2(\theta)  [1 - \frac{v^2 }{c^2} ]+ L_o^2 * sin(\theta)^2}

=> L_r  =  \sqrt{ [cos^2\theta +sin^2\theta ]- \frac{v^2 }{c^2}cos^2 \theta }

=> L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }

Hence the length of the rod as measured by a stationary observer is

       L_r = L_o \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } cos^2(\theta ) }

   Generally the angle made is mathematically represented

tan(\theta) =  \frac{L_y}{L_x}

=>  tan {\theta } =  \frac{L_o sin(\theta )}{ (L_o cos(\theta ))\sqrt{ 1 -\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

=> tan(\theta ) =  \frac{tan\theta}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

If you increase the voltage what will the current do
o-na [289]

Answer:

The power will remain the same for a particular load as we are not changing the load. so if we increase the voltage, the current will decrease to make the net power consumed by the load same as before. If we increase the current, the voltage will decrease for making the power same. The power will only change when we changes the load.

Supposing you were in space..in a weightless environment, would it require a force to set an object in motion? Explain..
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Yes, a force is require to set an object in motion.

Explanation:

  • In space, even if you feel weightless, you are subject to motion. If you are orbiting the Earth, you are under the constant influence of Earth having a free-fall acceleration equal to the centripetal acceleration.
  • To disturb this orbital motion, an external force is required.
  • According to Newton's laws of motion, a force is required to change the state of the rest of a body or to change the velocity or direction if it is moving with uniform velocity along a straight line.
  • Whenever there is a change in velocity or direction of a body there is a force acting on it.
