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!

to start an avalanche on a mountain slope, an artillery shell is fired with an initial velocity of 290 m/s at 53.0° above the ho
kap26 [50]
So this is easy to calculate when you split the velocity into x and y components. The x component is going to equal cos(53) * 290 and the y component is going to equal sin(53)*290.

The x location therefore is 290*cos(53)*35 = 6108.4m

The y location needs to factor in the downwards acceleration of gravity too, which is 9.81m/s^2. We need the equation dist. = V initial*time + 0.5*acceleration*time^2.

This gives us d=290*sin(53)*35 + (0.5*-9.81*35^2)=2097.5m

So your (x,y) coordinates equals (6108.4, 2097.5)

Comparison between copper properties and aluminium properties​
mixas84 [53]
Hopes this helps:

Answer: Aluminum has 61 percent of the conductivity of copper, but has only 30 percent of the weight of copper. That means that a bare wire of aluminum weights half as much as a bare wire of copper that has the same electrical resistance. Aluminum is generally more inexpensive when compared to copper conductors.
