Answer:
-414.96 N
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration
The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N
If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase
To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.
Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.
As per above given data
initial velocity = 19.3 km/s
final velocity = - 18.8 km/s
now in order to find the change in velocity
Part b)
Now we need to find acceleration
acceleration is given by formula
given that
now the acceleration is given as
so above is the acceleration
Answer
given,
mass of the drop, m = 0.0014 g
speed of the drop, u = 8.1 m/s
a) Change in momentum is equal to impulse
final velocity of the drop, v = 0 m/s
J = m ( v - u )
J = 0.0014 x 10⁻³ x ( 0 - 8.1 )
J = -1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s
impulse of the roof = - J = 1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s
b) time, t = 0.37 m s
impact of force = ?
we know
J = F x t
1.134 x 10⁻⁵ = F x 0.37 x 10⁻³
F = 0.031 N
the magnitude of the force of the impact is equal to F = 0.031 N
