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

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission
Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.

The moment of water from ocean through the atmosphere and back
melisa1 [442]

The water cycle is all about storing water and moving water on, in, and above the Earth. Although the atmosphere may not be a great storehouse of water, it is the superhighway used to move water around the globe. Evaporation and transpiration change liquid water into vapor, which ascends into the atmosphere due to rising air currents. Cooler temperatures aloft allow the vapor to condense into clouds and strong winds move the clouds around the world until the water falls as precipitation to replenish the earthbound parts of the water cycle. About 90 percent of water in the atmosphere is produced by evaporation from water bodies, while the other 10 percent comes from transpiration from plants.

There is always water in the atmosphere. Clouds are, of course, the most visible manifestation of atmospheric water, but even clear air contains water—water in particles that are too small to be seen. One estimate of the volume of water in the atmosphere at any one time is about 3,100 cubic miles (mi3) or 12,900 cubic kilometers (km3). That may sound like a lot, but it is only about 0.001 percent of the total Earth's water volume of about 332,500,000 mi3 (1,385,000,000 km3), If all of the water in the atmosphere rained down at once, it would only cover the globe to a depth of 2.5 centimeters, about 1 inch.

A gyroscope slows from an initial rate of 32.0 rad/s at a rate of 0.700 rad/s2. How long does it take to come to rest? How many
Darya [45]

Answer:

t=45.7s

\alpha =116revolutions

Explanation:

Since we have given values of ω₀=32.o rad/s ,ω=0 and α=-0.700 rad/s² to find t we use below equation

w=w_{o}+at\\  0=(32.0rad/s)+(-0.700rad/s^{2} )t\\t=\frac{-32.0}{-0.700} \\t=45.7s

To find revolutions we use below equation

w^{2}=w_{o}^{2}+2a\alpha

Substitute the given values to find revolutions α

So

0=(32.0rad/s)^{2}+2(-0.700rad/s^{2} )\alpha  \\\alpha =\frac{(-32.0rad/s)^{2}}{2(-0.700rad/s^{2} )} \\\alpha =731rad

To convert rad to rev:

\alpha =(731rad)*(\frac{1rev}{2\pi rad} )\\\alpha =116revolutions
