ro as a skydiver steps out of the plane what is the sky divers downward velocity at that entrance just before starting to fall

Kobotan [32]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: zero.


Justification:


The downward velocity of the sky diver just before starting to fall is zero, assuming that the helicopter is not moving but just hovering.


Before starting to fall, the velocity of the skydiver is the same of the helicopter, which is zero. It is only, once she jumps out of the helicopter that her weight is not supported by the helicopter and so the gravitational force of the Earth attracts the skydiver and she starts to gain velocity at a rate equal to g (around 9.81 m/s²).

How would you find the speed of a person who walked
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

v = 1.25 m/s

Explanation:

We have,

Distance covered by a person is 10 meters

Time taken by him to cover that distance is 8 seconds.

If we want to find the speed of a person, we must know distance covered by it and taken. In this case, we know both distance and time. His speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{10\ m}{8\ s}\\\\v=1.25\ m/s

So, the speed of the person is 1.25 m/s.

Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.15 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

U=50.96J

Explanation:

The electrostatic potential energy for pair of charge is given by

U=1/4π∈₀×(q₁q₂/r)

Hence for a system of three charges the electrostatic potential energy can be found by adding up the potential energy for all possible pairs or charges.For three equal charges on the corners of an equilateral triangle,the electrostatic potential energy is given by:

U=1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)+1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)

U=3×1/4π∈₀×(q²/r)

Substitute given values

So

U=3\frac{1}{4\pi E_{o} }\frac{q^{2} }{r}\\  U=3\frac{1}{4\pi8.85*10^{-12} }\frac{(1.15*10^{-6}C )^{2} }{0.0007m}\\  U=50.96J

Consider a parachutist that has reached terminal velocity. which of the following is true? A.) The acceleration of the parachuti
trasher [3.6K]
The correct answer is:
<span>B.) At terminal velocity there is no net force 

In fact, when the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity, his velocity does not change any more. It means that the acceleration acting on the parachutist is zero, and for Newton's second law, this means the net force acting on him is zero:
</span>\sum F = ma = 0
<span>because the acceleration is zero: a=0. 
This also means that the two relevant forces acting on the parachutist (gravity, downward, and air resistance, upward) are balanced to produce a net force equal to zero.</span>
