The graph shows how the vertical velocity of a parachutist changes from the moment the parachutist jumps from the aircraft until

landing on the ground. Using the idea of forces, explain why the parachutist reaches a terminal velocity and why opening the parachute reduces the terminal velocity.

finlep [7]

Answer:

one for physical is that your muscles will seize up or cramp when you try to move. one for mental is that if your always sitting down you will most likely become stressed or get depression

A machine carries a 100kg cargo to a boat at a rate of 10m/s2. The distance between the ground to the boat is 50ft. If the machi
klasskru [66]

Answer:

50.8 watt

Explanation:

we know that P=W÷t

W=F.S           S-->distance=50 ft= 15.24 m

F=ma

=100×10=1000 N

SO W= 1000×15.24

        =15240 J

NOW

P=W÷t          t=5 mints = 5×60=300 sec

P=15240÷300

P=50.8 watt

Can a body have zero velocity and finite acceleration?Explain​
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Kinda? Depends what the question is fully asking

Explanation:

Acceleration is a change in velocity. So I guess if the velocity of something is -2 m/s and its positively accelerating at a value of +1 m/s, then that means every second its velocity changes by +1m/s.

So that -2 m/s thing after one second will be going -1 m/s.

After another second it'll be going 0 m/s.

After another itll be going +1 m/s and so on.

So at one point for a brief moment, it can have an acceleration but be at 0 m/s velocity.

You are investigating an elevator accident which happened in a tall building. An elevator in this building is attached to a stro
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a) F = 2250 Ib

b) F = 550 Ib

c) new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib

Explanation:

A) The force the wall of the elevator shaft exert on the motor if the elevator starts from rest and goes up

max capacity  of elevator = 24000 Ibs

counterweight = 1000 Ibs

To calculate the force (F) :

we first calculate the Tension using this relationship

Counterweight (1000) - T =  ( 1000 / g ) ( g/4 )

Hence T = 750 Ib

next determine F

750 + F - 2400 = 2400 / 4

hence F = 2250 Ib

B ) calculate Tension first

T - 1000 = ( 1000/g ) ( g/4)

T = 1250 Ib

F = 2400 -1250 - 2400/ 4

F = 550 Ib

C ) determine design limit

Max = 2400 * 1.2 = 2880 Ib

750 + new force - 2880 = 2880 / 4

new max force ( F newmax ) = 2850 Ib
