A skydiver is using wind to land on a target that is 50 m away horizontally. The skydiver starts from a height of 70 m and is fa

lling vertically at a constant velocity of 7.0 m/s downward with their parachute open (terminal velocity). A horizontal gust of wind helps push them towards the target. What must be their total speed if they want to just hit their target?

The result is 15.67 seconds. Using the first equation of motion, we have: Final Velocity = Initial Velocity + (Acceleration * Time). This translates mathematically to v = u + at. Now, plugging in our values: v = 3, u = 50, and a = -4 (indicating negative acceleration). We find that 3 = 50 + (-4 * t) leads to -47/-4 = t, giving us a time of 15.67 seconds.

The magnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4 × 10–8 C charge and a +1.8 × 10–6 C charge that are separated by 0.0
kicyunya [3171]
To solve this problem, Coulomb's law will be applied as follows:
F = k*q1*q2 / r^2 where:
F indicates the force magnitude between the charges
k is a constant = 9.00 * 10^9 N.m^2/C^2
q1 = <span>+2.4 × 10–8 C
q2 = </span><span>+1.8 × 10–6 C
r represents the distance separating the charges = </span><span>0.008 m

By substituting these values, we derive:
F = (9*10^9)(2.4*10^-8)(1.8*10^-6) / (0.008)^2 = 6.075, which rounds to 6.1 Newtons

A 450g mass on a spring is oscillating at 1.2Hz. The totalenergy of the oscillation is 0.51J. What is the amplitude.
Sav [3045]

Response:

A=0.199

Clarification:

We know that  

Mass of spring=m=450 g==\frac{450}{1000}=0.45 kg

Where 1 kg=1000 g

Frequency of oscillation=

\nu=1.2Hz

Energy for oscillation is 0.51 J

To determine the amplitude of oscillations.

Energy for oscillator=E=\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2

Where \omega=2\pi\nu=Angular frequency

A=Amplitude

\pi=\frac{22}{7}

Using the formula

0.51=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45(2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2A^2

A^2=\frac{2\times 0.51}{0.45\times (2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2}=0.0398

A=\sqrt{0.0398}=0.199

Therefore, the amplitude of oscillation=A=0.199

On its own, a certain tow-truck has a maximum acceleration of 3.0 m/s2. what would be the maximum acceleration when this truck w
inna [2995]

Let us denote a_1=3 m/s^2 as the highest acceleration of the truck by itself. The force generated by the engine to propel the truck in this scenario is
F= ma_1
where m is the mass of the truck alone.

Upon attaching a bus that has double the mass of the truck, the total mass of the entire system (truck+bus) becomes (m+2m)=3m. In this situation, the force generated by the engine is
F=3m a_2
where a2 represents the new acceleration. 
Since the engine remains unchanged, the force generated stays the same, allowing us to set the force equations equal to each other:
m a_1 = 3 m a_2
and solving for a2 gives us:
a_2 = \frac{m a_1}{3 m}= \frac{a_1}{3}= \frac{3 m/s^2}{3}=1 m/s^2

Sav [3045]
Given:
a rod with a circular cross section is experiencing uniaxial tension.
Length, L=1500 mm
radius, r = 10 mm
E=2*10^5 N/mm^2
Force, F=20 kN = 20,000 N
[note: newton (unit) in abbreviation is written in upper case, as in N ]

From the details provided, the cross-section area = &pi; r^2 = 100 &pi; =314 mm^2
(i) Stress,
&sigma;
=F/A
= 20000 N / 314 mm^2
= 6366.2 N/mm^2
= 6370 N/mm^2 (to 3 significant figures)

(ii) Strain
&epsilon;
= ratio of extension / original length
= &sigma; / E
= 6366.2 /(2*10^5)
= 0.03183 
= 0.0318 (to three significant figures)

(iii) elongation
= &epsilon; * L
= 0.03183*1500 mm
= 47.746 mm
= 47.7 mm  (to three significant figures)

a fixed mass of a n ideal gas is heated from 50 to 80C at a constant pressure at 1 atm and again at a constant pressure of 3 atm
inna [2995]

Answer:

The required energy remains identical in both scenarios since the specific heat capacity (Cp) does not change with varying pressure.

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, t₁ = 50 °C

final temperature, t₂ = 80 °C

Temperature change, ΔT = 80 °C - 50 °C = 30 °C

Pressure for scenario one = 1 atm

Pressure for scenario two = 3 atm

The energy needed in both scenarios is expressed as;

Q = M*C_p*\delta T

Where;

Cp denotes specific heat capacity, which only varies with temperature and remains unaffected by pressure.

Hence, the energy required remains the same for both scenarios since specific heat capacity (Cp) is pressure-independent.
