Explain why a man using a parachute falls through air slowly while a stone falls through air very fast

Physics
1 answer:
Korolek [52]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:because the parachute is built so the wind will push up on it make the man/woman glide or fall slowly will a stone which has a lot of desentity

falls through the air faster do to is weight and shape .

A compound microscope is equipped with two objective lenses (10x and 45x) and has a 10x ocular lens. The highest magnification a
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

450X

Explanation:

When a specimen is been viewed, both

objective and ocular lenses works together so that the object is magnified.

From the question,objective lenses are;

1)10x

2)45x

ocular lens= 10x

Highest magnification

= 10X ocular × 45X objective

=450X

This implies that the image that was viewed will appear 450 times the actual size.

A 1500 kg car traveling 5.0 m/s collides head on with a 3000 kg truck traveling
Setler [38]
  • m1=1500kg
  • m_2=3000kg
  • v_1=5m/s
  • v_2=7m/s

Using law of conservation of momentum

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow m_1v_1-m_2v_2=(m1+m2)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 1500(5)-3000(7)=(1500+3000)v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow 7500-21000=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow -13500=4500v_3

\\ \sf\Rrightarrow v_3=-3m/s

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s
