Mike has a mass of 97 kg. He jumps out of a perfectly good airplane that is 2000 m above the ground. After he falls 1000 m, when

his downward speed is 68 m/s, Mike opens his parachute. The positive y-direction is downward.
(a) Calculate the average magnitude of the upward force of the air resistance on Mike during his initial descent.

(b) After Mike opens his parachute, he continues to descend, eventually reaching the ground with a speed of 4.0 m/s. Calculate the average upward force during this part of Mike's descent.

(c) At the same time Mike jumps out of the airplane, his wallet (mass of 0.3 kg) falls out of his pocket. Calculate the wallet's downward speed when it reaches the ground. For this calculation, assume that air resistance is negligible.

Answer:

a)  fr = 224.3 N , b)   fr = 224.3 N , c)   v = 198.0  m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

             v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

             a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

             a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

             a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,312

            fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

            v² = v₀² - 2 a y

            a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

            a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

            a = 2,304 m / s²

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,304

            fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

           v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

           v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

           v = 198.0  m/s

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 49.0 cm . The explorer finds that
iren2701 [21]

Answer: g = 10.0 m/s/s

Explanation:

For a simple pendulum, provided that the angle between the lowest and highest point of  his trajectory be small, the oscillation period is given by the following expression:

T = 2π √L/g , where L = pendulum length, g= accelleration of gravity.

We can also define the period, as the time needed to complete a full swing, so from the measured  values, we can conclude the following :

T = 140 sec/ 101 cycles = 1.39 sec

Equating both definitions for T, we can solve for g, as follows:

g = 4 π² L / T² = 4π². 0.49 m / (1.39)² = 10.0 m/s/s

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

We'll need two equations.

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.

x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t

where t is time.

Given:

v = 47.5 m/s

v₀ = 34.3 m/s

x - x₀ = 40100 m

Find: a and t

(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)

a = 0.0135 m/s²

40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t

t = 980 s

Martin has severe myopia, with a far point on only 17 cm. He wants to get glasses that he'll wear while using his computer whose
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Far point = 17 cm . That means he can not see beyond this distance .

He wants to see at an object at 65 cm away . That means object placed at 65 has image at 17 cm by concave lens . Using lens formula

1 / v - 1 / u = 1 / f

1 / - 17 - 1 / - 65 = 1 / f

= 1 / 65 - 1 / 17

= -  .0434 = 1 / f

power = - 100 / f

= - 100 x .0434

= - 4.34 D .
