A 60 kg skydiver is falling at a terminal velocity of 50 m/s.

Physics
1 answer:
marishachu [46]2 years ago

Answer:

The gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that :

the mass of the skydiver = 60 kg

Velocity = 50 m/s

Thus;  gravitational force is definitely acting downwards towards the ground and this is equal to the weight of the skydiver.

Also; the air resistance is acting upward and the resultant of both forces = mass×acceleration

So;

mg-R = ma

60(9.8) - 120 = 60(a)

588 -120 = 60a

468 = 60a

a = \frac{468}{60}

a = 7.8 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration a = 7.8 m/s²

What type of energy does the box have after it is done being pulled?
Ksivusya [100]
Assuming that the box is moving when it is being pulled, Work is done on the box.

So work is the Force times the distance

W=Fd

But what is work actually ? When something moves due to force over some change in distance, it have energy.

But where does this energy come from ? Does it magically appear ? The energy comes from the applied force onto the box.

So the energy have been transferred. And it’s like that throughout the universe

Now to save time, I’ll just tell you the answer: kinetic energy
