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 runner starts at position zero and moves in one direction to position 12m 3. What is the distance traveled by the runner?
murzikaleks [220]

<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign.  Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

Explain how you can cause light separated by a prism to combine
r-ruslan [8.4K]
When you shine a lite through a prism is reflects out light through all of the edges and causes light separation. Or just simply shine a laser through the edge of a sideways piece of glass.

I hope that this was helpful for you.

How would electron domains impact the magnetism of the substance?
Vanyuwa [196]
Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron, nickel, cobalt and their alloys, and ferrimagnetic materials like ferrite. ... Magnetic domains form in materials which have magnetic ordering; that is, their dipoles spontaneously align due to the exchange interaction.
