Suppose a skydiver jumps out of a plane at 15,000 meters above the ground. It takes him 2.0 seconds to pull the cord to deploy t

he parachute and another 2.0 seconds for the parachute to be fully deployed. Additionally, in order to land safely on the ground, his parachute must be fully deployed 10.0 seconds before he hits the ground. With this information and assuming there is no additional air resistance or changes in atmospheric density, what is the maximum time into his fall that he can wait to pull the cord in order to make it safely to the ground?

Answer:

The time he can wait to pull the cord is 41.3 s

Explanation:

The equation for the height of the skydiver at a time "t" is as follows:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

Where:

y = height at time "t".

y0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s² considering the upward direction as positive).

First, let´s calculate how much time will it take for the skydiver to hit the ground if he doesn´t activate the parachute.

When he reaches the ground, the height will be 0 (placing the origin of the frame of reference on the ground). Then:

y = y0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

0 m = 15000 m + 0 m/s · t - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

0 m = 15000 m - 4.9 m/s² · t²

-15000 m / -4.9 m/s² = t²

t = 55.3 s

Then, if it takes 4.0 s for the parachute to be fully deployed and the parachute has to be fully deployed 10.0 s before reaching the ground, the skydiver has to pull the cord 14.0 s before reaching the ground. Then, the time he can wait before pulling the cord is (55.3 s - 14.0 s) 41.3 s.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

  • quality factor (Q) = 69.99
  • inductor = 1.591 x 10⁻⁴ H
  • capacitor = 3.248 x 10⁻¹⁰ F

Explanation:

Given;

resonance frequency (F₀) = 700 kHz

resistor, R =  10 Ohm

bandwidth (BW) = 10 kHz

bandwidth (BW)  = \frac{R}{2\pi L}

BW = \frac{R}{2\pi L}

make L (inductor) the subject of the formula

L = \frac{R}{2\pi *BW}  =  \frac{10}{2\pi *10,000} =1.591 *10^{-4} \ H = \ 0.1591\ mH

F_o =\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC} } \\\\\sqrt{LC} = \frac{1}{2\pi F_o} \\\\LC = \frac{1}{4\pi ^2F_o^2}= \frac{1}{4\pi ^2(700,000)^2} = 5.168*10^{-14}

make C (capacitor)  the subject of the formula

C = \frac{5.168*10^{-14}}{1.591*10^{-4}} = 3.248*10^{-10} \ F = \ 3.248*10^{-4} \ \mu F

quality factor (Q) = \frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} \ = \frac{1}{10} \sqrt{\frac{1.591*10^{-4}}{3.248*10^{-10}}}=69.99

quality factor (Q) =  69.99

A 0.095 kg tennis ball is traveling to the right at 40 m/s when it bounces of a wall and travels in the opposite direction it ca
Mashutka [201]

given that

mass of ball = 0.095 kg

initial velocity of ball towards the wall = 40 m/s

final velocity of the ball after it rebound = 30 m/s

now change in momentum is given as

\Delta P = m(v_f - v_i)

\Delta P = 0.095(30 - (-40))

\Delta P = 6.65 kg m/s

So change in momentum will be 6.65 kg m/s
