A sky diver with a mass of 70kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on the sky diver is known to be Fd=kV^

2, where k=0.25N*s^2/m^2. Determine the maximum speed of free fall for the sky diver and the speed reached after 100m of fall. Plot the speed of the sky diver as a function of time and as a function of distance fallen

Answer:

v_{max}=52.38\frac{m}{s}

v_{100}=33.81

Explanation:

the maximum speed is reached when the drag force and the weight are at equilibrium, therefore:

\sum{F}=0=F_d-W

F_d=W

kv_{max}^2=m*g

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{m*g}{k}} =\sqrt{\frac{70*9.8}{0.25}}=52.38\frac{m}{s}

To calculate the velocity after 100 meters, we can no longer assume equilibrium, therefore:

\sum{F}=ma=W-F_d

ma=W-F_d

ma=mg-kv_{100}^2

a=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m} (1)

consider the next equation of motion:

a = \frac{(v_{x}-v_0)^2}{2x}

If assuming initial velocity=0:

a = \frac{v_{100}^2}{2x} (2)

joining (1) and (2):

\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}

\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}+\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}=g

v_{100}^2(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})=g

v_{100}^2=\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}} (3)

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{2*100}+\frac{0.25}{70})}}

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{280})}}

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{3}{350})}}

v_{100}=\sqrt{1,143.3}

v_{100}=33.81

To plot velocity as a function of distance, just plot equation (3).

To plot velocity as a function of time, you have to consider the next equation of motion:

v = v_0 +at

as stated before, the initial velocity is 0:

v =at (4)

joining (1) and (4) and reducing you will get:

\frac{kt}{m}v^2+v-gt=0

solving for v:

v=\frac{ \sqrt{1+\frac{4gk}{m}t^2}-1}{\frac{2kt}{m} }

❖ The correct answer choice is B) is multicellular. When something is multicellular, it consists of two or more cells. When something is unicellular, it consists of only one cell and in this case we have 5 million red blood cells so that wouldn't make sense.

1. The Moon's mass is 7.34 x 1022 kg, and it is 3.8 x 105 km away from Earth. Earth's
sineoko [7]

Answer:

2.03 x 10²⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of moon = 7.34 x 10²²kg

Mass of the earth  = 5.97 x 10²⁴kg

Distance  = 3.8 x 10⁵km

Unknown:

Gravitational force of attraction  = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational force of attraction between the masses, we use the expression below;

   F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

1 and 2 represents moon and earth

r is  the distance

  F = \frac{6.67 x 10^{-11}  x 7.34 x 10^{22} x 5.97 x 10^{24}  }{(3.8 x 10^{5})^{2}  }

 F = \frac{2.92 x 10^{35} }{1.44 x 10^{11} }  = 2.03 x 10²⁴N
