Answer:

Answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

a)

vf² = vi² + 2gh

0 = vi² + 2(-9.8)(72)

vi = 37.57 m/s

b)

vf = vi + gt

0 = 37.57 - (9.8)t

t = 3.83 s

3.83 x 2 = 7.67 s

vf = vi + gt

vf = 37.57 - (9.8)(7.67)

vf = -37.60 m/s

c)

Its vertical velocity at the highest point is 0 m/s

20 cm long 10 cm wide and 5 cm thick as a mass of 500 g determine the greatest pressure that can be exerted by block on the flat

uysha [10]

100000 Pascal

Explanation:

pressure= force/area

Max pressure= force/min area

so f=5

min area= 5×10^-5

5÷5*10^-5 = 100000pascal

How is heat transfer involved in the movement of tectonic plates?

Simora [160]

Mantle convection

Explanation:

The driver of moving plates is the mantle convection.

Convection is a heat transfer process that involves the movement of fluids from one place to another.

How does convection occur in the mantle?

Part of the mantle known as the asthenosphere is a hot liquid. It moves slowly and does not readily flow.
Over riding the asthenosphere is the brittle lithosphere made up of the upper mantle and the entirety of the crust.
The asthenosphere is at a higher temperature compared to the lithosphere on top.
In order to achieve stability and thermal equilibrium, the asthenosphere rises to the surface whereas the dense and cold lithosphere sinks down.
This way a convective cell is set up.
Hot materials rises to the surface because they are light whereas cold materials on the surface sinks into the asthenosphere.
Through this the plates moves.

A sky diver with a mass of 70kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on the sky diver is known to be Fd=kV^

xeze [42]

Answer:

$v_{max}=52.38\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{100}=33.81$

Explanation:

the maximum speed is reached when the drag force and the weight are at equilibrium, therefore:

$\sum{F}=0=F_d-W$

$F_d=W$

$kv_{max}^2=m*g$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{m*g}{k}} =\sqrt{\frac{70*9.8}{0.25}}=52.38\frac{m}{s}$

To calculate the velocity after 100 meters, we can no longer assume equilibrium, therefore:

$\sum{F}=ma=W-F_d$

$ma=W-F_d$

$ma=mg-kv_{100}^2$

$a=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}$ (1)

consider the next equation of motion:

$a = \frac{(v_{x}-v_0)^2}{2x}$

If assuming initial velocity=0:

$a = \frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}$ (2)

joining (1) and (2):

$\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}$

$\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}+\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}=g$

$v_{100}^2(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})=g$

$v_{100}^2=\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}}$ (3)

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{2*100}+\frac{0.25}{70})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{280})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{3}{350})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{1,143.3}$

$v_{100}=33.81$

To plot velocity as a function of distance, just plot equation (3).

To plot velocity as a function of time, you have to consider the next equation of motion:

$v = v_0 +at$

as stated before, the initial velocity is 0:

$v =at$ (4)

joining (1) and (4) and reducing you will get:

$\frac{kt}{m}v^2+v-gt=0$

solving for v:

$v=\frac{ \sqrt{1+\frac{4gk}{m}t^2}-1}{\frac{2kt}{m} }$
