A parachutist relies on air resistance (mainly on her parachute) to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a

mass of 51.1 kg and air resistance exerts a total upward force of 657 N on her and her parachute. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the parachutist?

The resultant force will be equal to difference of her downward force, her weight, and the upward force, the air resistance.
Fnet = 657 - 51.1 x 9.81
= 149.7 N
F = ma
a = F / m
a = 149.7/51.1
a = 2.93 m/s²

vitfil [10]

Answer:

W = 819152 J = 819.15 KJ

Explanation:

The work done by Juri can be given by the following formula:

W = FdCos\theta

where,

W = Work done = ?

F = Force = 200 N

d = distance = 5 km = 5000 m

θ = angle to horizontal = 35°

Therefore,

W = (200 N)(5000 m)Cos 35°

<u>W = 819152 J = 819.15 KJ</u>

A 3.00 × 10^-6 kg ant rides the second hand of an enormous vertical wall clock. The ant smoothly sweeps a circle of radius 50.0
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

1.65×10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

m = Mass of ant = 3\times 10^{-6}\ kg

r = Radius = 50 m

t = Time taken to complete on rotation = 60 seconds

Angular velocity

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{t}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{60}

Centripetal acceleration is force that is acting outward

F_c=m\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow F_c=3\times 10^{-6}\times \left(\frac{2\pi}{60}\right)^2\times 50\\\Rightarrow F_c=1.65\times 10^{-6}\ N

The magnitude of the upward force felt by the ant due to the second hand would be 1.65×10⁻⁶ N

\large \mathfrak{Solution : }

9. An object which is in circular motion (moving along a circle) is said to be accelerating because it changes it's direction constantly even if it is moving with a constant speed. cuz acceleration is change in either magnitude or direction of an object with respect to time.

therefore, it's still acceleration as change in direction with time.

10. Average speed of an object can be calculated by dividing the total distance covered by an object by time taken to cover that distance.

i.e

  • \boxed{speed =  \dfrac{distance}{time} }

it can be re- arranged to find the distance as :

  • \boxed{distance = speed \times time}

  • time =  \dfrac{distance}{speed}

11. speed = 20 m/s : conversion into km/h

distance covered : 4 km = 4000 m

  • time =  \dfrac{distance}{speed}

  • t =  \dfrac{4000}{20}

  • t =  200 \:  \: sec

time taken = 200 seconds

12. let's use the first equation of motion to find the acceleration :

  • v = u + at

  • 50 = 80 + 120a

  • 50 - 80 = 120a

  • a =  \dfrac{ - 30}{120}

  • a = -   \dfrac{1}{4} m/s {}^{2}

  • - 0.25 \:  \: m/s {}^{2}
