Answer:

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We have velocity of a body = Change in position/ Time.

Considering first portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 0 = 30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = 30/2700 = 0.011 m/s

Considering second portion of graph,

Change in position = 30 - 30 = 0 m

Time = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes = 1800 seconds

Velocity = 0/1800 = 0 m/s

Considering third portion of graph,

Change in position = 0 - 30 = -30 m

Time = 0.75 hours = 45 minutes = 2700 seconds

Velocity = -30/2700 = -0.011 m/s

So firstly they walked in one direction(positive direction), then they were still(velocity is zero), then they walked in the opposite direction( velocity is negative).

Option C is the correct answer.

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s

nevsk [136]

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:

$W=\Delta K\\-F d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where:

$F=1.1 \cdot 10^5 N$ 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:

$d=\frac{1}{2F}mu^2 = \frac{(68 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{2(1.1\cdot 10^5 N)}=0.94 m$
