Let his weight be mg.

For a falling body in a fluid.

W - V - U = ma.    Where
                             W = Weight = 800N.
                              m = mass
                             V = Viscous Force = Air Resistance.
                             U = upthrust = Negligible for air.
                             a = acceleration
                             g = acceleration due to gravity.
Note also at terminal velocity  a = zero.
 
W - V - 0 = m(0)
800 - V  = 0
800 = V. 

Therefore the viscous force which is equivalent to air resistance is also 800N.
Cheers.

We call "terminal velocity" the constant speed of a falling body
when it is no longer accelerating.

We know that if a body is not accelerating, then the net force
on it is zero.

From the question, we know that the downward force of gravity
on the skydiver is 800 N.

If the 800 N downward plus the air resistance upward add up
to zero, then the air resistance upward must also be 800 N.

What effect would decreasing the distance between objects have on their gravitational attraction to each other?
Lady_Fox [76]
Decreasing the distance between two objects having a considerable mass would increase the attraction on gravitation. The reverse is true that if you separate or inrease the objects distance would substantially decrease their gravitational attraction. Most object in our planet is held by its gravitational force towards it's center.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force isa =   \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}

Gravitational forceF= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}

we know that

v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}

solving for

R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}

F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}

F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}

a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}

a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}

we know that

f =ma

G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}

solving for m

m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}

m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}

m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg

The minimum stopping distance of a car moving at 20.5 mi/h is 11.6 m. Under the same conditions (so that the maximum braking for
pshichka [43]

Answer:

d = 69 .57 meter

Explanation:

First case

Speed of car ( v )  = 20.5 mi/h  = 9.164  M/S

distance ( d ) = 11.6 meter                                       ( m = mass of the car )

Work done = 0.5 m v²  = 0.5 * 9.164² * m J  = 41.99 m J

Force = ( workdone /distance ) = ( 41.99 m / 11.6 )   =  3.619 m N

Second case

v = 50.2 mi/h = 22.44135 m/s

d = ?

Work done = 0.5 * 22.44² * m J = 251.7768 * m J

Since the braking force remains the same .

3.619 m = ( 251.7768 m / d )

d = 69 .57 meter
