Answer:
Parachute exerts a force of 619.2 N upward
The net force is 86.4 N acting downward
Explanation:
As the gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2, the parachute help reduces the net acceleration to 1.2m/s. So it must exerted an upward acceleration on the skydiver of
9.8 - 1.2 = 8.6 m/s2
Since the skydiver mass is 72 kg, we can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the force that causes this acceleration of 8.6
F = ma = 8.6*72 = 619.2 N acting upward
The net force is also the product of net acceleration and mass
= 1.2 * 72 = 86.4 N acting downward
Answer:
Application of Newton's first law of motion
A body in motion will continue in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force.
Explanation:
V=r/t
Speed equals displacement over the time
V=100/9.92=10.08ms^-1
Answer:
v = 12.12 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of the cart, m = 75 kg
The roller coaster begins 15 m above the ground.
We need to find the velocity of the cart halfway to the ground. Let the velocity be v. Using the conservation of energy at this position, h = 15/2 = 7.5 m
So, the velocity of the cart is 12.12 m/s.
