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

<h3>What is a Parachute?</h3>

This is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag.

The size of the parachute affects the speed of falling because a larger parachute allows it to displace more air, causing it to fall more slowly. The one with three parachutes which is A will fall slowest and the one with just one will fall fastest.

The boy on the tower throws a ball 20m downrange. What is his pitching speed?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

  • Here, we can use the third equation of motion,  v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as
  • whereas v represents the final velocity, u represents initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity and s is the displacement or distance an object traveled
  • Here, the initial velocity of the the ball is given as  zero and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8  , the distance 's' is given as 20 m
  • Using the equation,  v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 20 = 392\\v = \sqrt{392} = 19.7m/s
  • Hence, the pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

What is the acceleration of softball if it has a mass of 5 kg and hits the catchers glove with a force of 35 N
Katen [24]

Answer:

50m/s2^

Explanation:

We know , by newton's law of motion .

F=ma

a=f/m

a=25/0.5

a=50m/s2^

Therefore , the acceleration of a softball is  .

Two strings are adjusted to vibrate at exactly 202 Hz. Then the tension in one string isincreased slightly. Afterward, three bea
Semenov [28]

The concepts necessary to solve this problem are framed in the expression of string vibration frequency as well as the expression of the number of beats per second conditioned at two frequencies.

Mathematically, the frequency of the vibration of a string can be expressed as

f = \frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Where,

L = Vibrating length string

T = Tension in the string

\mu = Linear mass density

At the same time we have the expression for the number of beats described as

n = |f_1-f_2|

Where

f_1 = First frequency

f_2 = Second frequency

From the previously given data we can directly observe that the frequency is directly proportional to the root of the mechanical Tension:

f \propto \sqrt{T}

If we analyze carefully we can realize that when there is an increase in the frequency ratio on the tight string it increases. Therefore, the beats will be constituted under two waves; one from the first string and the second as a residue of the tight wave, as well

n = f_2-f_1

f_2 = n+f_1

Replacing 3/sfor n and 202Hz for f_1,

f_2 = 3/s + 202Hz

f_2 = 3/s(\frac{1Hz}{1/s})+202Hz

f_2 = 206Hz

The frequency of the tightened is 205Hz

That is FALSE. The equation to calculate the charges has a distance component that is in the denominator which means that it is inversely proportional (as the distance os greater the force is smaller)
