A parachutist of mass 100 kg falls from a height of 500 m. Under realistic conditions, she experiences air resistance. Based on

what you know about friction, what can you say about the kinetic energy of the parachutist as she reaches the ground? Remember, 1 kJ = 1000 J. Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s2.

Answer:

E_k=490\ kJ

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the parachutist, m = 100 kg

It falls from a height of 500 meters.

When the parachutist reaches the ground, the potential energy gets converted to its kinetic energy. The potential energy of the parachutist is given by the following formula as :

E_p=E_k=m\times g\times h

g is the acceleration due to gravity

E_k=100\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 500\ m

E_k=490000\ J

Since, 1 kJ = 1000 J

So, E_k=490\ kJ

So, as the parachutist reaches ground its kinetic energy is equal to 490 kJ.

Given:
mass: 100 kg
height: 500 m
1 kJ = 1000 J
gravity = 9.8 m/s²

velocity before impact: v = √2gh ; v = √2 * 9.8 m/s² * 500 m ; v = 98.99494 m/s

KE = 1/2 m v²
KE = 1/2 * 100 kg * (98.99494 m/s)²
KE = 490,000 J

Pls. see attachment.

An airplane pilot wishes to fly directly westward. According to the weather bureau, a wind of 75.0km/hour is blowing southward.
qaws [65]

Answer:

a)  correct answer is C , b) 14º  from the west to the north, c)   v_{1g} = 300.79 km / h

Explanation:

This is a relative speed exercise using the addition of speeds.

1) when it is not specified regarding what is being measured, the medicine is carried out with respect to the Z Earth, therefore the correct answer is C

2 and 3) In this case we must compose the speed using the Pythagorean Theorem.

     v_{1a}² = v_{1g}² + v_{ag}²

where v_{1a} is the speed of the airplane with respect to the air, v_{1g} airplane speed with respect to the Earth, v_{ag} air speed with respect to the Earth

in this case let's clear the speed of the airplane with respect to the Earth

  v_{1g} = √(v_{1a}² - v_{ag}²)

 v_{1g} = √ (310² - 75²)

 v_{1g} = 300.79 km / h

we find the direction of the airplane using trigonometry

   sin θ = v_{ag} / v_{1a}

   θ = sin⁻¹ (v_{ag} /v_{1a})

   θ = sin⁻¹ (75/310)

   θ= 14º

the pilot must direct the aircraft at an angle of 14º from the west to the north

What measurements or observations tells you that a car is accelerating
lutik1710 [3]

You need to observe the car at two different times.

-- The first time: 
You write down the car's speed, and the direction it's pointing.

-- The second time:
You write down the car's speed and the direction it's pointing, again.

You take the data back to your lab to analyze it.

-- You compare the first and second speed. If they're different,
then the car had acceleration during the time between the two
observations.

-- You compare the first and second direction.  If those are different,
even if the speeds are the same, then the car had acceleration during
the time between the two observations.

(Remember, "acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". 
It means any change in speed or direction of motion.)

Science Seminar Question: Why did Vehicle 2 fall off the cliff in Claire's test of the collision scene but Vehicle 2 did not fal
asambeis [7]

Complete Question:

Check the file attached to get the complete question

Answer:

In the film Ice word Revenge, vehicle 2 did not fall of the cliff because, Weight_{vehicle 1} < Weight_{vehicle 2} but in Claire's test, vehicle 2 off the cliff because Weight_{vehicle 1} \geq Weight_{vehicle 2}

Explanation:

In Claire's test, the weight of vehicle 1 is either equal to or greater than the weight of vehicle 2, so it was sufficient to push it down the cliff.  In the film Ice word revenge, the weight of vehicle 1 is less than the weight of vehicle 2, it is not sufficient to make it fall off the cliff ( Note: Looking exactly the same in the movie, as Claire claimed, does not mean they have the same mass). Therefore if Claire wants a collision that will not make the vehicle 2 fall off the cliff, he should collide it with a vehicle of lesser mass/weight.

Which equation is true of an atom with no elctrical charge
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Atoms are composed of electrons (charge -1), protons (charge +1), and neutrons (no charge). So in a neutral atom the correct answer is "D".

Atmosphere

Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.
