What is the approximate terminal velocity of a sky diver before the parachute opens

Physics
1 answer:
anzhelika [568]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The approximate terminal velocity of a sky diver before the parachute opens is 320 km/h.

Explanation:

  • The terminal velocity is the maximum magnitude of velocity that is attained by the diver when he or she falls in the air.
  • The terminal velocity of the person diving in air before opening parachute is 320 km/h that means the velocity when the person is experiencing free fall is 320 km/h.
  • During terminal velocity, we can represent mathematical equation as;

                           Buoyancy force + drag force = Gravity

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s

To add to the complexity, those precious atoms face the peril of disintegrating into the void. Luckily, by now, they are feeling
miskamm [114]

Answer:

B The most basic atoms were formed due to the force of gravity.

Explanation:

Since the statement says that the atoms could have faced the peril of disintegrating into the void, this means that, they could have been destroyed by movement away into the void.

But, it also says that by now, they are feeling the influence of gravity to bring them safely together. This statement shows that gravity brings them (the atoms) together and thus doesn't allow them disintegrate into the void.

<u>So, a reader can thus infer that the most basic atoms were formed due to the force of gravity since it doesn't allow the atoms disintegrate into the void.</u>

So, B is the answer.

Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.3
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}

h = 2.3 m

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3} \\\\v=6.71\ m/s

So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.
