Does the mass of a parachute affect terminal velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
vovangra [49]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The greater weight increases the terminal velocity by acting as an extra force against gravity and air resistance.

galina1969 [7]
If the Sun were to turn into a black hole, or be replaced by a black hole
with the same mass as the Sun, then Earth would continue to orbit it
as usual.  (But it would be very cold and dark around here.)

A wave with a frequency of 1200 Hz propagates along a wire that is under a tension of 800 N. Its wavelength is 39.1 cm. What wil
mash [69]

Answer:

The wavelength will be 33.9 cm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the wave, F = 1200 Hz

Tension on the wire, T = 800 N

wavelength, λ = 39.1 cm

F = \frac{ \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }}{\lambda}

Where;

F is the frequency of the wave

T is tension on the string

μ is mass per unit length of the string

λ is wavelength

\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } = F \lambda\\\\\frac{T}{\mu} = F^2\lambda^2\\\\\mu =  \frac{T}{F^2\lambda^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{F^2\lambda _1^2} = \frac{T_2}{F^2\lambda _2^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{\lambda _1^2} = \frac{T_2}{\lambda _2^2}\\\\T_1 \lambda _2^2 = T_2\lambda _1^2\\\\

when the tension is decreased to 600 N, that is T₂ = 600 N

T_1 \lambda _2^2 = T_2\lambda _1^2\\\\\lambda _2^2  = \frac{T_2\lambda _1^2}{T_1} \\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2\lambda _1^2}{T_1}} \\\\\lambda _2 = \sqrt{\frac{600* 0.391^2}{800}}\\\\\lambda _2  = \sqrt{0.11466} \\\\\lambda _2  =0.339 \ m\\\\\lambda _2  =33.9  \ cm

Therefore, the wavelength will be 33.9 cm

In order to induce electrical energy into a conductor or generator, what three factors must be present?
salantis [7]
The electricity produced by a generator works through the concepts of the following three factors; magnetic field, voltage and current. When a conductor with current flowing in it is placed in a magnetic field, it will cause the electrons to move in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field. When working with generators, the guide for this direction is Fleming's Right Hand Rule. Since the electron move in perpendicular motion with magnetic field all the time, it would cause it to spin in a helical direction. These turns would then induce voltage and create electricity.

How to charge a laptop battery without a charger?
Likurg_2 [28]
I dont know if it right but <span>Use a universal power adapter. This is perhaps the most obvious solution to your battery woes. Readily found at most retail outlets that carry electronics, a universal power adapter can range anywhere in price from $30 to $100 or more. The adapter comes with multiple tips, one of which will likely fit your laptop’s charging port. When plugged in, the adapter will not only power your laptop, but will charge its battery as well.</span>
