A falling skydiver has a mass of 105 kg. What is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration when the upward force of air resis

F-free = m*g - F_air = m*a

F_air = 1.2 * m

a= (105 kg * 9.8 m.s^2 - 5*105) / 105 kg

a = 9.3 m/s

Hope this helps

suppose a child walks from the outer edge of a rotating Merry-Go-Round to the inside does angular velocity of the Merry-Go-Round
Akimi4 [234]

Okay here initially child walks on the outer edge of the disc and then started to move inside

So here as the child and Merry go round is an isolated system so there is no external Torque on this system from outside

As here we can see there is external force acting on this system by the hinge of the Merry go round as well as due to gravity so we can not use momentum conservation to solve such type of questions.

But as we can say that there is no external torque on this system about the hinge point so we will use conservation of angular momentum for this system

Here as we know that

\tau = \frac{dL}{dt}

where L = angular momentum

since here torque is ZERO

0 = \frac{dL}{dt}

L = constant

so here we can write initial angular momentum of the system as

L = (I_1 + I_2)*\omega

here we know that

I_1 = moment of inertia of merry go round

I_2 = moment of inertia of child

so here we can say

(I_1 + I_2)* \omega_1 = (I_1 + I_2')\omega_2

so here as the child moves from edge to inside the disc it moment of inertia will decrease because as we know that moment of inertia of child is given as

I_2 = mr^2

here m = mass of child

r = distance of child from center

Since child is moving inside so his distance from center is decreasing

so here moment of inertia of child is decreasing as he starts moving inside

so final angular speed of merry go round will increase as child go inside

\omega_2 = \frac{(I_1 + I_2)*\omega}{(I_1 + I_2')}

so here as

I_2' < I_2

final angular speed will be more than initial speed as child moves inside

Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 2.6 m long, its mass is 0.5
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

15.13 m/s

Explanation:

The wave speed of the stretched rope can be calculated using the following formula

v = \sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu}}

where F_T = 44N is the tension on the rope and \mu = m/L = 0.5 / 2.6 = 0.1923 kg/m is the density of the rope per unit length

v = \sqrt{\frac{44}{0.1923}} = \sqrt{228.8} = 15.13 m/s
