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

You walk with a velocity of 2 m/s north. You see a man approaching you, and from your frame of reference he has a speed of 3 m/s
kupik [55]
The answer to this question would be: 1m/s

When you are walking to the north with 2m/s velocity, the stationary object(velocity=0m/s) will look like moving south at 2m/s velocity. That happens because the relative distance between you and the object is reduced by 2m/s in both conditions. In this question, the man seems like have 3m/s velocity. The real velocity should be:
3m/s - 2m/s = 1m/s

A common acoustic phenomenon is thunder, the rapid heating and supersonic expansion of air created by a lightning stroke. Becaus
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Δt ≈ 2.9137 ≈ 3 seconds per kilometer

Explanation:

The speed of light is approximately 300000 km /s, while the speed fo the sound in the air is 0.3432 km/s.

The light takes  therefore  this time to travel one kilometer

x = vt              t = \frac{x}{v}

t = \frac{1}{300000}

t = 3.33 x 10^{-6} s

On the other hand the sound takes this time to travel one kilometer

t = \frac{1}{0.3432}

t = 2.9137 s

Then the delay time is 2.9137 - 3.33 x 10^{-6} s

Δt ≈ 2.9137 ≈ 3 s

An unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 9.50 m/s and comes to a full stop after
Amanda [17]

Answer:

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the player (u) = 9.50 m/s

Final velocity of the player (v) = 0 m/s (Comes to a stop)

Displacement of the player (S) = 0.250 m

We know that, using equation of motion relating displacement (S), acceleration (a), initial velocity (u) and final velocity (v), we have:

v^2=u^2+2aS

Expressing in terms of 'a', we get:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2S}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'a'. This gives,

a=\frac{0-9.50^2}{2\times 0.250}\\\\a=\frac{-90.25}{0.5}=-180.5\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the player is -180.5 m/s². So, the deceleration is 180.5 m/s².

Now, using the first equation of motion, we have:

v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}

Plug in the given values and solve for 't'. This gives,

t=\frac{0-9.5}{-180.5}\\\\t=0.053\ s

Therefore, the the collision will last for 0.053 s.

(a) The collision lasts for 0.053 s.

(b) The deceleration is 180.5 m/s².
