A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki

t with a parachute. Because of the shape of the parachute, it experiences insignificant horizontal air resistance. If the kit descends with a constant vertical acceleration of 5.82 m / s 2 , how far away from the survivor will it hit the waves?

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away

What happens to a current when the electric field in the wire increase
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

If the voltage is increased then the electric field is higher, and electron velocity (average) is proportional to this field. Then you have an increase in speed. And current is total charge passing per time unit, so current is proportional to velocity value of charge (and to voltage in resistors and wire).

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
irina [24]
En caso de una colisión de bajo nivel de gravedad podría golpearse con el tablero del carro o en la parte del sillón (si esta sentado en la parte trasera). Pero si es muy grave la colisión podría salirse del carro por el cristal.

What is the current in mA through a 500 Ω resistor that is connected to a 1.5 V battery? Show all calculations using Ohm’s law (
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

3 mA.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Resistor (R) = 500 Ω

Potential difference (V) = 1.5 V

Current (I) =.?

Using the ohm's law equation, we can obtain the current as follow:

V = IR

1.5 = I x 500

Divide both side by 500

I = 1.5 / 500

I = 3×10¯³ A.

Therefore, the current in the circuit is 3×10¯³ A.

Finally, we shall convert 3×10¯³ A to milliampere (mA).

This can be obtained as follow:

Recall:

1 A = 1000 mA

Therefore,

3×10¯³ A = 3×10¯³ × 1000 = 3 mA

Therefore, 3×10¯³ A is equivalent to 3 mA.

Thus, the current in mA flowing through the circuit is 3 mA.
