Answer:

The magnitude of air = 392N

Explanation:

We use Newton's 2nd law. The sum of the vertical forces must be equal to zero because at terminal speed , the acceleration is zero. Solving for the air resistance force,F(air ) gives:

EFvertical = mg - F(air)= ma

F(air) = mg = 40 × 9.8 = 392N

Answer: 392N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that "The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object."

the sum of vertical forces has to be equal to zero because by the time the terminal speed has been attained, the acceleration is zero. Now, we solve for air resistance force.

summation of F(vertical) = mg - F(air) = ma

a = 0 m/s²

thus, F(air) = mg

F(air) = 40kg*9.8m/s²

F(air) = 392N

Eating 2500 Cal every day a friend of mine maintains a stable weight of 70 kg. One day, after eating 3500 Cal, he decided to do
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calories to be burnt = 3500 - 2500 = 1000 Cals .

Efficiency of conversion to mechanical work  is 25 % .

Work needed to burn this much of Cals = 1000 x 100 / 25 = 4000 Cals.

4000 Cals = 4.2 x 4000 = 16800 J  .

Work done in one jump = kinetic energy while jumping

= 1/2 m v²

= .5 x 70 x 3.3²

= 381.15 J .

Number of jumps required = 16800 / 381.15

= 44 .
