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>

Earth has four motions in its movement through space, rotation, revolution, processional, and solar motion, which two are of any
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

rotation and revolution

Explanation:

out of the four motions the earth is subject to which are: rotation about its axis, revolution around  the Sun, processional motion (a slow conical movement ) of the axis, and the solar motion (this refers to the

movement of the whole solar system with space),  only two are of any

importance to meteorology as this two causes changes in weather and seasons. The first motion is rotation. Earth rotates on its axis

once every 24 hours. One-half of the Earth’s surface is

therefore facing the Sun at all times. The second motion of Earth is its revolution around  the Sun. The revolution around the Sun and the earth tilt on its axis are responsible for changes in seasons. The Earth

makes one complete revolution around the Sun in

approximately 365 1/4 days.

How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of aluminum from 10°C to 110°C, if the specific heat of al
dusya [7]

Answer:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is 4750 J

Explanation:

As we know that the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = 50 g

\Delta T = 110 - 10

\Delta T = 100 ^oC

so we have

Q = 50(0.95)(100)

Q = 4750 J

Softa [21]
The process of soil formation involves the following steps: Accumulation of materials, leaching and losses (because of weather factors particles are leached and eroded away or taken up from the soil by plants), Transformation and illluviation (the chemical weathering<span> of silt, sand, and the formation of clay minerals as well as the change of organic materials into decay resistant organic matter), p</span>odsolisation and translocations (strong acidic solutions breakdown the clay minerals). From the given options soil formation involves both <span>physical and chemical weathering of rocks. Correct answer:D</span>

Work done by a gravitational force by lowering the bucket into the well is
katovenus [111]

Answer:

when we lower a bucket into a well to fetch water, the work done by gravity is positive since force and displacement are in the same direction.
