Explanation:
Terminal velocity is given by:
Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration, is the drag coefficient,
is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:
Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is .
Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Horizontal Launch</u>
When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.
The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration acts in that direction, thus:
vx=v
The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:
The horizontal component of the velocity is always the same:
The vertical component at t=5.5 s is:
