Answer:

Increase air resistance

Explanation:

Gravity forces the parachute down but air resistance pushing up on the flat surface of the parachute causes it to fall slower to the ground.

Answer:

The radius of the gold nucleus is 7.1x10⁻¹⁵m

Explanation:

The nearest distance is:

$r=\frac{kze^{2} }{mpV^{2} }$ (eq. 1)

Where

z = atomic number of gold = 79

e = electron charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

k = electrostatic constant = 9x10⁹Nm²C²

energy of the particle = 32 MeV = 5.12x10⁻¹²J

At the potential energy is zero, all the energy will be kinetic energy:

$E_{k} =\frac{1}{2} m V^{2}$

Where

m = 4 mp = mass of proton

$5.12x10^{-12} =\frac{1}{2} *4*m_{p}* V^{2} \\m_{p}* V^{2} = 2.56x10^{-12}$

Replacing in equation 1

$r=\frac{9x10^{9}*79*(1.6x10^{-19})^{2} }{2.56x10^{-12} } =7.1x10^{-15} m$

A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 13 rad/s. During a 8-s interval the angular velocity incr

____ [38]

Answer:

The number of revolutions is 44.6.

Explanation:

We can find the revolutions of the wheel with the following equation:

$\theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}$

Where:

$\omega_{0}$ : is the initial angular velocity = 13 rad/s

t: is the time = 8 s

α: is the angular acceleration

We can find the angular acceleration with the initial and final angular velocities:

$\omega_{f} = \omega_{0} + \alpha t$

Where:

$\omega_{f}$ : is the final angular velocity = 57 rad/s

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega_{0}}{t} = \frac{57 rad/s - 13 rad/s}{8 s} = 5.5 rad/s^{2}$

Hence, the number of revolutions is:

$\theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2} = 13 rad/s*8 s + \frac{1}{2}*5.5 rad/s^{2}*(8 s)^{2} = 280 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 44.6 rev$

Therefore, the number of revolutions is 44.6.

I hope it helps you!
