A child and parent parachute jump together. Assume that the parent is heavier than the child. The following questions will ask y

ou about different aspects of their trip down.
A. Before they open their parachutes, both the parent and the child fall with the same acceleration and velocity. How does the total force acting on the child compare to the total force acting on the parent? Explain your reasoning!
B. Once they open their parachutes, in addition to gravity they also feel the force of the parachute ropes pulling on them. Soon after their parachutes are opened, they are no longer accelerating or decelerating, but instead fall at a uniform velocity. What is the total force on the parent and the total force on the child during the time they are falling at a uniform velocity?
C. How does the force exerted by the parachute on the child compare to the force exerted by the parachute on the parent if they continue to fall together next to each other?

Answer:

A. Force on parent is greater than the force on child

B. The net force acting on the bodies is zero for each.

C.  the drag force on the parent is greater than the drag force on the child.

Explanation:

The child and the parent jump together form a certain height where the mass of the parent is greater than the mass of the child.

A

Before opening the parachute the drag force is negligible and so their velocity  and acceleration are same simultaneously. The total force acting on the child is lesser than the total force of gravity on the child because the force of gravity is given as:

F=m.g

where:

m= mass

g= acceleration due to gravity

So when the mass is greater then the force of gravity is also greater on the body.

B

During the uniform velocity motion there is no acceleration in the body and hence we can say the there is no net force acting on the body.

The net force acting on the body is zero.

C

The force of drag acts due to parachute on each of the body when falling with uniform motion, this drag force is equal to the force of gravity acting on each of them individually.

So the drag force on the heavier body is greater than the drag force on the lighter body. During this condition the bodies fall with a uniform velocity called terminal velocity.

m.g=\frac{1}{2}\rho.A.v^2.c_d

where:

\rho= density of the air

A= area normal to the direction of fall

v= terminal velocity

c_d= coefficient of drag

A boy sits motionless partway down a playground slide. The force of friction balances the force of gravity. A girl hands the boy
DanielleElmas [232]

C.  

The force of friction = coefficient of friction * normal force.  

Adding the book to the boy increases the normal force and the component of the gravitational force directed down the slide.  This in turn increases the force of friction as can be seen by the relationship from the above equation.  For a stationary object, the force of static friction is always equal to the force applied (in this case, it is the component of the gravitational force directed down the slide).  That means that so long as the boy is not moving and his mass increases, the frictional force is increasing also to balance the increased downward gravitation force directed down the slide.

a charged partocle produces an electric field with a magnitude of 2.0 N/C at a point that is 50cm away from the particle
zheka24 [161]

The charge on the particle is 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹ C.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

The magnitude of an electric field produced by a charge is given by:

                                                 E = q/ 4πε₀r²

where,

E = electric field

q = charge

r = distance

1/4πε₀ = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

Given,

E = 2.0 N/C

r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

To find,

q =?

Put the values in the above equation:

E = q/ 4πε₀r²

q = E (4πε₀r²)

q = 2.0 × (0.50²)/ 8.99 × 10⁹

q = 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹ C

Therefore, the particle has a charge of 5.6 × 10⁻¹¹ C.

<h3>What is an electric field?</h3>

The physical field that surrounds each electric charge and acts to either attract or repel all other charges in the field is known as an electric field. Electric charges or magnetic fields with different amplitudes are the sources of electric fields.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

A charged particle produces an electric field with a magnitude of 2.0 N/C at a point that is 50 cm away from the particle. What is the magnitude of the particle's charge?

Compare and contrast electrical and magnetic forces
erik [133]

Answer:

the eletrical forces are created when an object is both moving charges and stationary charges.

the magnetic forces are created when an act on only moving charges.

A ball is projected with an initial velocity of 40 meter per second and reached maximum height of 160 meters calculate tge angle
Andru [333]

There's a problem with the question as given. Even with a maximum projection angle of <em>θ</em> = 90°, the initial velocity is not large enough to get the ball up in the air 160 m. With angle 90°, the ball's height <em>y</em> at time <em>t</em> would be

<em>y</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em> - 1/2 <em>g t</em> ²

Set <em>y</em> = 160 m, and you'll find that there is no (real) solution for<em> t</em>, so the ball never attains the given maximum height.

From another perspective: recall that

<em>v </em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2<em>a </em>∆<em>y</em>

where

• <em>v</em>₀ = initial velocity

• <em>v</em> = final velocity

• <em>a</em> = acceleration

• ∆<em>y</em> = displacement

At its maximum height, the ball has zero vertical velocity, and ∆<em>y</em> = maximum height = 160 m. The ball is in free fall once it's launched, so <em>a</em> = -<em>g</em>.

So we have

0² - (40 m/s)² = -2<em>g </em>(160 m)

but this reduces to

(40 m/s)² = 2 (9.8 m/s²) (160 m)

1600 m²/s² ≠ 3136 m²/s²
