Please can you help?? A skydiver is falling at terminal velocity when she opens her parachute. After a while she reaches a new t

erminal velocity. How does her new terminal velocity compare to her original terminal velocity?

It will decrease because she is loosing momentum and she will begin to slow down.

A singly charged ion (q=−1.6×10−19) makes 7.0 rev in a 45 mT magnetic field in 1.29 ms. The mass of the ion in kg is

insens350 [35]

Answer:

$m=1.47\times 10^{-24}\ Kg$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Revolution = 7 rev

magnetic field, B = 45 mT

Time, t = 1.29 ms

We need to find the mass of the ion. Let m be the mass. The formula for the mass in terms of time period is given by :

$m=\dfrac{qBT}{2\pi}\\\\m=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 45\times 10^{-3}\times 1.29\times 10^{-3}}{2\pi}\\\\m=1.47\times 10^{-24}\ Kg$

So, the mass of the ion is equal to $1.47\times 10^{-24}\ Kg$ .

A Venturi tube may be used as a fluid flowmeter. Suppose the device is used at a service station to measure the flow rate of gas

leonid [27]

Answer

given,

flow rate = p = 660 kg/m³

outer radius = 2.8 cm

P₁ - P₂ = 1.20 k Pa

inlet radius = 1.40 cm

using continuity equation

A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

π r₁² v₁ = π r₁² v₂

$v_1= \dfrac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} v_2$

$v_1= \dfrac{1.4^2}{2.8^2} v_2$

$v_1= 0.25 v_2$

Applying Bernoulli's equation

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.25 v_2)^2)$

$\Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 (1 - 0.0625)$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\Delta P}{\rho(1 - 0.0625)}}$

$v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 1200}{660 \times(1 - 0.0625)}}$

v₂ = 1.97 m/s

b) fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.014)² x 1.97

Q = 1.21 x 10⁻³ m³/s

The acceleration due to gravity on earth will decrease as which of the following occurs. The mass of the object decreases. The d

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is given by:

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the object from the Earth's centre

We notice that:

- g does not depend on the mass of the object

- g is inversely proportional to r

This means that if the distance of the object from the Earth's centre increases, g decreases. So, the correct option is

The distance of the object to the center of the earth increases.

When melting of a metamorphic rock occurs, it changes into what?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The upper limit of metamorphism occurs at the pressure and temperature of wet partial melting of the rock in question. Once melting begins, the process changes to an igneous process rather than a metamorphic process. During metamorphism the protolith undergoes changes in texture of the rock and the mineral make up of the rock.

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res

BARSIC [14]

Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

(2/5) of (9 volts) = 18/5 = 3.6 volts .
