A 72-kg skydiver is falling from 10000 feet. At an instant during the fall, the skydiver

MissTica

Answer:

Approximately $2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

Assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be $W = m \cdot g = 72 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 706.32\; \rm N$ (points downwards.)

Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.

Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}F(\text{net force}) &= W - F(\text{air resistance})\\ &= 706.32\; \rm N - 540\; \rm N =166.32\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \\ &= \frac{166.32\; \rm N}{72\; \rm kg} = 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

What building materials do you believe would work well to build a home in that area? Explain why you chose these materials.

Luden [163]

Depends on what the area is. If it’s a rural place, Wood is cheep & easy to build. If there’s a lot of corrosion, strong weather/hurricane, bricks.

If 36 grams of water is to be heated from 24.0°C to 48°C to make a cup of tea, how much heat must be added? The specific heat of

Vinvika [58]

We will have the following:

$\begin{gathered} Q=mc\Delta T\Rightarrow Q=(36)(4.18)(48-24) \\ \\ \Rightarrow Q=3611.52 \end{gathered}$

So, the heat to add is 3611.52 Joules.
