Answer:

a)The parachutist in the air for 12.63 seconds.

b)The parachutist falls from a height of 293 meter.

Explanation:

Vertical motion of  parachutist:

 Initial speed, u = 0m/s

 Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

 Displacement, s = 50 m

 We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

 Substituting

   v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 50

    v = 31.32 m/s

 Time taken for this

          31.32 = 0 + 9.81 x t

            t = 3.19 s

 After 50m we have

 Initial speed, u = 31.32m/s

 Acceleration, a = -2 m/s²

 Final speed , v = 3 m/s

 We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

 Substituting

   3² = 31.32² - 2 x 2 x s

    s = 243 m

 Time taken for this

          3 = 31.32 - 2 x t

            t = 9.44 s

a) Total time = 3.19 +  9.44 = 12.63 s

    The parachutist in the air for 12.63 seconds.

b) Total height = 50 + 243 = 293 m

    The parachutist falls from a height of 293 meter.

What subatomic particle determines the identity of an element
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Proton

Explanation:

Proton is a subatomic particle and determines the identity of an element. each element is identified by its atomic number. In an element, the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of the element is same as the atomic number of that element and this number is different for each element. for example, Boron has 5 protons in its nuclei, hence the atomic number of the element is 5.

When a certain rubber band is stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude f = ax, where a is a constant. th
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Given:
F = ax
where
x = distance by which the rubber band is stretched
a =  constant

The work done in stretching the rubber band from x = 0 to x = L is
W=\int_{0}^{L} Fdx = \int_{0}^{L}ax \, dx = \frac{a}{2}  [x^{2} ]_{0}^{L} =  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

Answer:  \frac{aL^{2}}{2}

A 10 kg ball strikes a wall with a velocity of 3 m/s to the left. The ball bounces off with a velocity of 3 m/s to the right. If
lord [1]

Answer:

The force is 272.73 newtons

Explanation:

We're going to use impulse-momentum theorem that states impulse is the change on the linear momentum this is:

\overrightarrow{J}=\overrightarrow{p}_{f}-\overrightarrow{p}_{i} (1)

Impulse is also defined as average force times the time the force is applied:

\overrightarrow{J}=\overrightarrow{F}_{avg}(\varDelta t) (2)

By (2) on (1):

\overrightarrow{F}_{avg}(\varDelta t)= \overrightarrow{p}_{f}-\overrightarrow{p}_{i}

solving for \overrightarrow{F}_{avg}:

\overrightarrow{F}_{avg}=\frac{\overrightarrow{p}_{f}-\overrightarrow{p}_{i}}{\varDelta t} (3)

We already know Δt is equal to 0.22 s, all we should do now is to find \overrightarrow{p}_{f}-\overrightarrow{p}_{i} and put on (3) (\overrightarrow{p_{i}} the initial momentum and \overrightarrow{p_{f}} the final momentum). Linear momentum is defined as \overrightarrow{p}=m\overrightarrow{v} , using that on (3):

\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m \overrightarrow{v_{f}}-m \overrightarrow{v_{i}} (4)

Velocity (v) are vectors so direction matters, if positive direction is the right direction and negative direction left \overrightarrow{v_{i}}=+3\, \frac{m}{s} and \overrightarrow{v_{f}}=-3\, \frac{m}{s} so (4) becomes:

\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=m(-3\frac{m}{s}- (+3\frac{m}{s}))=-(10kg)(6\frac{m}{s})

\varDelta\overrightarrow{p}=-60\, \frac{mkg}{s} (5)

Using (5) on (3):

\overrightarrow{F}_{avg}=\frac{-60\, \frac{mkg}{s}}{0.22s}

F_{avg}=272.73N
