The force by which earth attracts anobject is know as weight of that particular object.

so,

=》weight ( F ) = mass ( M ) × acceleration ( A )

=》F = 85 × 9.8

( because acceleration due to gravity = 9.8, but sometimes it is taken as approx 10 )

=》F = 833 Newton.

note : if you take acceleration due to gravity as 10 then the weight of the person = 85 × 10 = 850 N )

i hope it helped.....

A skydiver of 75 kg mass has a terminal velocity of 60 m/s. At what speed is the resistive force on the skydiver half that when

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of skydiver, m = 75 kg

terminal velocity, $V_T = 60 \ m/s$

The resistive force on the skydiver is known as drag force.

Drag force is directly proportional to square of terminal velocity.

$F_D = kV_T^2$

Where;

k is a constant

$k = \frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2}$

When the new drag force is half of the original drag force;

$F_D_2 = \frac{F_D_1}{2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_1}{2V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{1}{2V_{T2}^2}\\\\2V_{T2}^2 = V_{T1}^2\\\\V_{T2}^2= \frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} \\\\V_{T2}= \sqrt{\frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} } \\\\V_{T2}= \frac{V_{T1}}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{T2}= 0.7071(V_{T1})\\\\V_{T2}= 0.7071(60 \ m/s)\\\\V_{T2}= 42.426 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s

Physics question, help please!

The change in potential energy when the block falls to ground is -480J.

The maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball is 480 J.

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is 0 J.

The final kinetic energy of the ball is 0.148J.

The initial potential energy of the ball is 0.187 J.

The final potential energy of the ball is 0 J.

The work done by the air resistance is 0.039 J.

<h3>Change in potential energy when the block falls to ground</h3>

ΔP.E = -mgh

ΔP.E = -Wh

ΔP.E = - 40 x 12

ΔP.E = -480 J

<h3>Maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

ΔK.E = - ΔP.E

ΔK.E = - (-480 J)

ΔK.E = 480 J

<h3>Initial kinetic energy of the ball</h3>

K.Ei = 0.5mv²

where;

v is zero since it is initially at rest

K.Ei = 0.5m(0) = 0

<h3>Final kinetic energy</h3>

K.Ef = 0.5mv²

K.Ef = 0.5(0.0091)(5.7)²

K.Ef = 0.148 J

<h3>Initial potential energy of the ball</h3>

P.Ei = mghi

P.Ei = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 2.1

P.Ei = 0.187 J

<h3>Final potential energy</h3>

P.Ef = mghf

P.Ef = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 0

P.Ef = 0

<h3>Work done by the air resistance</h3>

W = ΔE

W = P.E - K.E

W = 0.187 J - 0.148 J

W = 0.039 J

A 225-g object is attached to a spring that has a force constant of 74.5 N/m. The object is pulled 6.25 cm to the right of equil

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

1.137278672 m/s

+5.9 cm or -5.9 cm

Explanation:

A = Amplitude = 6.25 cm

m = Mass of object = 225 g

k = Spring constant = 74.5 N/m

Maximum speed is given by

$v_m=A\omega\\\Rightarrow v_m=A\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v_m=6.25\times 10^{-2}\times \sqrt{\dfrac{74.5}{0.225}}\\\Rightarrow v_m=1.137278672\ m/s$

The maximum speed of the object is 1.137278672 m/s

Velocity is at any instant is given by

$\dfrac{v_m}{3}=\omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A\omega}{3}=\omega\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A}{3}=\sqrt{A^2-x^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{A^2}{9}=A^2-x^2\\\Rightarrow A^2-\dfrac{A^2}{9}=x^2\\\Rightarrow x^2=\dfrac{8}{9}A^2\\\Rightarrow x=A\sqrt{\dfrac{8}{9}}\\\Rightarrow x=6.25\times 10^{-2}\sqrt{\dfrac{8}{9}}\\\Rightarrow x=\pm 0.0589255650989\ m$

The locations are +5.9 cm or -5.9 cm

If an automobile battery is rated at 20 ampere-hours, what is the maximum current that can be supplied for 19 minutes?

Elenna [48]

20Ah is the number of charge that can be supplied at 20A for 1 hour. If you wish to drain it in 19 minutes, then the current is:
$20*60 = A_{2}*19$
$A_{2}=63.2A$
