A man (mass=68 kg) on a parachute is falling at terminal velocity (v=59 m/s)

Physics
1 answer:
raketka [301]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the man, m = 68 kg

Terminal velocity of the man, v = 59 m/s

We need to find the rate at which the internal energy of the man and of the air around him increase. The gravitational potential energy of the man is given by :

E=mgh

Differentiating equation (1) wrt t as :

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=mg\dfrac{dh}{dt}

Since, v=\dfrac{dh}{dt}=59\ m/s

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=68\times 9.8\times 59

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=39317.6\ J/s

So, the internal energy of the man and the air around him is increasing at the rate of 39317.6 J/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Proved that<br>V = u+at<br>​
kondaur [170]

Answer:

\sf Proof \ below

Explanation:

We know that acceleration is change in velocity over time.

\sf a=\frac{\triangle v}{t}

\sf a=\frac{v-u}{t}

v is the final velocity and u is the initial velocity.

Solve for v.

Multiply both sides by t.

\sf at=v-u

Add u to both sides.

\sf at + u=v

Paola can flex her legs from a bent position through a distance of 20.1 cm. Paola leaves the ground when her legs are straight,
makkiz [27]

The third equation of free fall can be applied to determine the acceleration. So that Paola's acceleration during the flight is 39.80 m/s^{2}.

Acceleration is a quantity that has a direct relationship with velocity and also inversely proportional to the time taken. It is a vector quantity.

To determine Paola's acceleration, the third equation of free fall is appropriate.

i.e V^{2} = U^{2} ± 2as

where: V is the final velocity, U is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and s is the distance covered.

From the given question, s = 20.1 cm (0.201 m), U = 4.0 m/s, V = 0.

So that since Poala flies against gravity, then we have:

V^{2} = U^{2} - 2as

0 = (4)^{2} - 2(a x 0.201)

  = 16 - 0.402a

0.402a = 16

a = \frac{16}{0.402}

  = 39.801

a = 39.80 m/s^{2}

Therefore Paola's acceleration is 39.80 m/s^{2}.
