A 57 kg paratrooper falls through the air. How much force is pulling him down?

Physics
1 answer:
serg [2.5K]9 days ago
7 0
The formula is Force = Mass * acceleration due to gravity. Considering a paratrooper's mass is 57 kg and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s², the force acting downwards can be calculated. Therefore, substituting the values gives F = 57 * 9.81, leading to a force of 559.17 N. So, the downward force is 559.17 N.

Two charges of 15 pC and −40 pC are inside a cube with sides that are of 0.40-m length. Determine the net electric flux through
Keith_Richards [2263]

To address this issue, we will utilize the principles related to Gauss' law, which states that the electric flux across a surface corresponds to the object's charge divided by the permittivity of vacuum. In mathematical terms, this can be expressed as

\phi = \frac{Q_{net}}{\epsilon_0}

It's crucial to remember that the net charge equals the difference between the two specified charges, so upon substitution,

\phi = \frac{(15-40)*10^{-12}C}{8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2}

\phi = 2.82WB

The negative sign indicates that the flux is directed into the surface

What is the mass of a baseball clocked moving at a speed of 105 mph or 46.9 m/s and wavelength 9.74 × 10-35m?
Maru [2360]

To address this issue, we apply the de Broglie equation written as:

λ = h/mv
where h equals 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J·s

Solving for m, we substitute for v, which is 46.9 m/s:
9.74 × 10⁻³⁵ m = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J·s / (m)(46.9 m/s)
Thus, we find that m = 0.145kg

A 100-watt light bulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J/s. (The watt, a unit of power or energy over time, is defined as 1 J/s.
Keith_Richards [2263]

Answer:

2.64\times 10^{20} The number of photons emitted each second is

Explanation:

Let 'n' stand for the quantity of photons released by the bulb.

Provided Information:

The bulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J per second (E).

Wavelength of emitted light is (λ) = 525 nm = 525\times 10^{-9}\ m

The energy of a photon is calculated by:

Where,

E_0=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Now, if we have 'n' photons, the total energy is equivalent to the energy of a single photon multiplied by the count of photons. Thus,

h\to Planck's\ constant=6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js\\\\c\to Speed\ of \ light=3\times 10^{8}\ m/s

To express in terms of 'n', we find:

E=nE_0\\\\E=\frac{nhc}{\lambda}

Insert the provided values and solve for 'n'. The resulting calculation yields

n=\frac{E\lambda}{hc}

Consequently,

photons are discharged every second.n=\frac{100\times 525\times 10^{-9}}{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}\\\\n=2.64\times 10^{20}

2.64\times 10^{20}

Water drops fall from the edge of a roof at a steady rate. a fifth drop starts to fall just as the first drop hits the ground. a
Keith_Richards [2263]

The height from which the drops fall is 3.57m

Assuming the drops fall at a rate of 1 drop every t seconds. The initial drop takes 5t seconds to hit the ground. The second drop reaches the bottom of the 1.00 m window in 4t seconds, while the third drop reaches the top of the window in 3t seconds.

Calculate the distances covered by the second and third drops s₂ and s₃, which begin from rest at the building's roof.

s_2=\frac{1}{2} g(4t)^2=8gt^2\\ s_3=\frac{1}{2} g(3t)^2=(4.5)gt^2

The height of the window s is described by,

s=s_2-s_3\\ (1.00 m)=8gt^2-4.5gt^2=3.5gt^2\\ t^2=\frac{1.00 m}{(3.5)(9.8m/s^2)} =0.02915s^2

The first drop has reached the base after taking 5t seconds.

The roof height h represents the distance covered by the first drop and is expressed as,

h=\frac{1}{2} g(5t)^2=\frac{25t^2}{2g} =\frac{25(0.02915s^2)}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =3.57 m

the height of the roof remains at 3.57 m

Yuliya22 [2438]

Answer:

a. 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b. 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c. 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d. 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²

Explanation:

Provided Data:

a.

I = 2500 W / m², us = 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s

P rad = I / us

P rad  = 2500 W / m² / 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b.

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa *[  9.8 x 10 ⁻⁶ atm / 1 Pa ]

P rad = 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c.

P rad = 2 * I / us = ( 2 * 2500 w / m²) / [ 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s ]

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa

P₁ = 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa / 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm = 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d.

P rad  = I / us

ΔP / Δt = I / C² = [ 2500 w / m² ] / ( 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s)²

ΔP / Δt = 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²
