Arsenic in period 4 group 5.
While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
Answer:
Velocity = 94.85m/s
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data ;</u>
Height = 1200m
Vertical distance = 1050m
To find the time, we would use the second equation of motion;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
t = 11.07 secs
To find the velocity;
Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;
Substituting into the above equation;
Velocity = 94.85m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the water above 1050 m over the sea level is 94.85m/s.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
mass of stone=0.250 kg
Let initial velocity with which it is thrown upward is u
therefore after time t it's velocity is zero at highest point
t=
where g= gravity at earth
therefore -------1
Now same thing is done in Planet X where gravity is g'
therefore time taken by stone to reach surface is
-------2
Divide 1 & 2
=
=
g'=
