A 72 kg skydiver can be modeled as a rectangular "box" with dimensions 21 cm × 41 cm × 170 cm . if he falls feet first, his drag

coefficient is 0.80. part a what is his terminal speed if he falls feet first? use ρ = 1.2 kg/m3 for the density of air at room temperature.

Formula for terminal velocity is:


Vt = √(2mg/ρACd) 
<span>Vt = terminal velocity = ?
<span>m = mass of the falling object = 72 kg
<span>g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2
<span>Cd = drag coefficient = 0.80
<span>ρ = density of the fluid/gas = 1.2 kg/m^3</span>
<span>A = projected area of the object (feet first) = 0.21 m * 0.41 m = 0.0861 m^2

Therefore:</span></span></span></span></span>

Vt =  √(2 * 72 * 9.81 / 1.2 * 0.0861 * 0.80) 

<span>Vt = 130.73 m/s</span>

Electrons are accelerated in the picture tube of a television through potential difference of 8.00 * 10 ^ 3 V. (Use the values q
maria [59]

Answer:

\lambda=1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m

Explanation:

Give that,

The potential difference of the electrons, V=8\times 10^{3}\ V

We need to find the wavelength of the electrons.

Using the conservation of energy,

2meV=\dfrac{h^2}{\lambda^2}\\\\\lambda=\sqrt{\dfrac{h^2}{2meV}}

Put all the values,

\lambda=\sqrt{\dfrac{(6.63\times 10^{-34})^2}{2\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 8\times 10^3}}\\\\\lambda=1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m

So, the wavelength of the electrons is 1.37\times 10^{-11}\ m.

Assume that the radius ????r of a sphere is expanding at a rate of 70 cm/min.70 cm/min. The volume of a sphere is ????=43???????
rodikova [14]

Answer:

the rate of change in volume with time is 280πr² cm³/min

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Radius of the sphere as 'r'

\frac{d\textup{r}}{\textup{dt}}  = 70 cm/min

Volume of the sphere, V = \frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^3

Surface area of the sphere as 4πr²

Now,

Rate of change in volume with time, \frac{d\textup{V}}{\textup{dt}}

 = \frac{d(\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^3)}{dt}

= 3\times\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^2}\times\frac{dr}{dt}

Substituting the value of \frac{dr}{dt}

= 3\times\frac{\textup{4}}{\textup{3}}\pi r^2}\times70

= 280πr² cm³/min

Hence, the rate of change in volume with time is 280πr² cm³/min

Consider a box sitting in the back of a pickup. The pickup accelerates to the right, and because the bed of the pickup is sticky
andreyandreev [35.5K]
The force would be coming from the right causing the box the lean/ slide to left, if it wasnt sticky.
