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.

A resistor with an unknown resistance is connected in parallel to a 13 Ω resistor. When both resistors are connected in parallel

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

R2 = 10.31Ω

Explanation:

For two resistors in parallel you have that the equivalent resistance is:

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\\$ (1)

R1 = 13 Ω

R2 = ?

The equivalent resistance of the circuit can also be calculated by using the Ohm's law:

$I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{V}{I}$ (2)

V: emf source voltage = 23 V

I: current = 4 A

You calculate the Req by using the equation (2):

$R_{eq}=\frac{23V}{4A}=5.75\Omega$

Now, you can calculate the unknown resistor R2 by using the equation (1):

$\frac{1}{R_2}=\frac{1}{R_{eq}}-\frac{1}{R_1}\\\\R_2=\frac{R_{eq}R_1}{R_1-R_{eq}}\\\\R_2=\frac{(5.75\Omega)(13\Omega)}{13\Omega-5.75\Omega}=10.31\Omega$

hence, the resistance of the unknown resistor is 10.31Ω

A long solenoid that has 1,130 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.430 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given Information:

Number of turns = N = 1130 turns

Length of solenoid = L = 0.430 m

Magnetic field = B = 1.0x10⁻⁴ T

Required Information:

Current = I = ?

Answer:

I = 0.0302 A

Explanation:

The current flowing in the solenoid winding can be found using

I = BL/μ₀N

Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, N is the number of turns, B is the magnetic field and L is the length of solenoid

I = 1.0x10⁻⁴*0.430/4πx10⁻⁷ *1130

I = 0.0302 A

I = 30.28 mA
