Answer:
Explanation:
The two cars are under an uniform linear motion. So, the distance traveled by them is given by:
is the same for both cars when the second one catches up with the first. If we take as reference point the initial position of the second car, we have:
We have . Thus, solving for t:
a) 0.94 m
The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:
where:
is the force applied by the snow
d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him
m = 68 kg is the man's mass
v = 0 is the final speed of the man
u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)
and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)
Solving the equation for d, we find:
b) -3740 kg m/s
The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:
where
m = 68 kg is the mass of the man
is the change in velocity of the man
Substituting,
Answer:
a)
b)
c)
Explanation:
the gravitational potential energy is given by:
The kinetic energy is given by:
the initial kinetic energy is zero because the motion started from rest, so:
applying the conservation of energy theorem:
The work done by the friction force is given by:
the angle of the force is 180 degrees because it's against the movement:
