The parachutists are not hurt when they jump out of an airplane, why?

1 answer:

7 0

When the parachute deploys it increases the persons air resistance to (temporaily) greater than the force of weight. This causes them to decellerate. As they decellerate resistance decreases again until once again it balances out. Terminal velocity is reduced to a safe level, and landing without injury is possible.

The first antiparticle, the positron or antielectron, was discovered in 1932. It had been predicted by Paul Dirac in 1928, thoug

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV

Explanation:

From the conservation of energy principle, we know that total energy of the system must remain conserved. So, the energy or particles before collision must be equal to the energy of photons after collision.

K.E OF electron + Rest Energy of electron + K.E of positron + Rest Energy of positron = 2(Energy of Photon)

where,

K.E OF electron = 3.58 MeV

Rest Energy of electron = 0.511 MeV

Rest Energy of positron = 0.511 MeV

K.E OF positron = 3.58 MeV

Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV + 3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV = 2(Energy of Photon)

Energy of Photon = 8.182 MeV/2

<u>Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV</u>

An object whose specific gravity is 0.850 is placed in water. What fraction of the object is below the surface of the water?

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Explanation:

Given;

specific gravity of the object, γ = 0.850

Specific gravity is given as;

$specific \ gravity = \frac{density \ of the \ object}{density \ of \ water}\\\\0.85= \frac{density \ of the \ object}{1000 \ kg/m^3} \\\\density \ of the \ object = 850 \ kg/m^3$

Fraction of the object's weight below the surface of water is calculated as;

$= \frac{850}{1000} \ \times\ 100\%\\\\= 85 \% \\\\= \frac{17}{20}$

Therefore, the fraction of the object that is below the surface of the water is ¹⁷/₂₀

Why do we see the color black?

Inessa [10]

We see black colour in absence of light. Black colour absoorbs all the light, ( just opposite of white) and hence we do not see any colour. Black colour is also related to darkness.
