The highest freefall jump on record is from a height of almost 38,000 m. At this height, the acceleration of gravity is slightly

weaker than the accelera
of gravity on the surface of Earth. Although the skydiver used a parachute to slow himself down below a certain altitude, how would the increasing
acceleration impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered?

Increasing his acceleration will impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered in that as the speed increases due to the increased rate of acceleration, the rate of air resistance also increases.  

<h3>What is air resistance?</h3>

Air resistance is a force created by air. When an item moves through the air, the force operates in the opposite direction.

When a diver descends, the force of air resistance acts to counteract the force of gravity. As the skydiver falls faster and faster, the quantity of air resistance grows until it equals the magnitude of gravity's force.

A balance of forces is achieved when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance, and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver reaches what is known as terminal velocity.

An undamped spring-mass system contains a mass that weighs and a spring with spring constant . It is suddenly set in motion at b
balandron [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

When all other forces acting on the mass in a damped mass-spring system are grouped together into one term denoted by F(t), the differential equation describing

motion is

Mx''+ βx' + kx = F(t).

Note for an undamped system

β=0,

Then, the differential equation becomes

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

The force is in the form

F=Fo•Sinωo•t

Let solved for the homogeneous or complementary solution, I.e f(t) = 0

Using D operator

MD² + k = 0

MD²=-k

D²=-k/M

Then, D= ±√(-k/m)

D=±√(k/m) •i

So we have a complex root

Therefore, the solution is

x= C1•Cos[√(k/m)t] + C2•Sin[√(k/m)]

This is simple harmonic motion that once again we prefer to write in the form

x(t) = A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Where A=√(C1²+C2²)

and angle φ is defined by the equations

sin φ = C1/A and cos φ = C2/A.

Quantity √(k/M), often denoted by ω, is called the angular frequency.

This is called the natural frequency (ωn) of the system

ωn=√(k/M)

ωn²= k/M

Now, for particular solution

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp' = Dωo•Cosωo•t

Xp"=-Dωo²•Sinωo•t

Now substituting this into

Mx'' + kx = F(t).

M(-Dωo²•Sinωo•t) + k(DSinωo•t)=FoSinωo•t

Now, let solve for D

D(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t) = FoSinωo•t

D=Fo•Sinωo•t/(-Mωo²•Sinωo•t +kSinωo•t)

D=Fo•Sinωo•t / Sinωo•t(-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (-Mωo²+k)

D=Fo / (k-Mωo²)

Divide through by k

D=Fo/k ÷ (1 -Mωo²/k)

Note from above

ωn²= k/M

Therefore,

D=Fo/k ÷ (1-ωo²/ωn²)

D=Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]

Then,

Xp=DSinωo•t

Xp=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t

Then the general solution is the sum of the homogeneous solution and particular solution

Xg(t)=(Fo/k ÷ [1-(ωo/ωn)²]) Sinωo•t + A•Sin[ √(k/M)t + φ]

Check attachment for the graph of homogeneous, particular and general solution.

Also, check for better way of writing the equations.

Imagine holding two identical bricks under water. Brick A is just beneath the surface of the water, while brick B is at a greate
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

I think it's c

Explanation:

The brick's mass, helps to hold it under the water but brick A is being held up. If you dropped the brick, it would sink to the bottom. You need a stronger force to hold it up.

Hope this helps you! x
