The watermelon is heaviest, followed by the soccer ball, golf ball and ping pong ball. How does the weight of an object relate t

o how fast it falls with a parachute?

Illusion [34]4 years ago

Answer:

It doesn’t really relate

Explanation:

heavier load the parachute must be moving faster to match the downward force of the greater load

and approx terminal velocity when the parachute is open

velocity for Ping pong ball with parachute = 9m/s

velocity for Soccer ball with parachute = 15m/s

velocity for Golf ball with parachute =24m/s

velocity for Watermelon with parachute = 25m/s

so weight of an object doesn’t really realted how fast it falls with a parachute

An elevator manufacturing company is stress-testing a new elevator in an airless test shaft. The elevator is traveling at an unk
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.192 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.900 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1.1 meters

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1.1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.9^2}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow u=-3.192\ m/s

Velocity of the elevator when it snapped is 3.192 m/s

A projectile is launched straight up from a height of 960 feet with an initial velocity of 64 ft/sec. Its height at time t is h(
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

a) t=2s

b) h_{max}=1024ft

c) v_{y}=-256ft/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know the initial velocity of the projectile and its initial height

v_{y}=64ft/s\\h_{o}=960ft\\g=-32ft/s^2

To find what time does it take to reach maximum height we need to find how high will it go

b) We can calculate its initial height using the following formula

Knowing that its velocity is zero at its maximum height

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

0=(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(y-960ft)

y=\frac{-(64ft/s)^2-2(32ft/s^2)(960ft)}{-2(32ft/s^2)}=1024ft

So, the projectile goes 1024 ft high

a) From the equation of height we calculate how long does it take to reach maximum point

h=-16t^2+64t+960

1024=-16t^2+64t+960

0=-16t^2+64t-64

Solving the quadratic equation

t=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

a=-16\\b=64\\c=-64

t=2s

So, the projectile reach maximum point at t=2s

c) We can calculate the final velocity by using the following formula:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

v_{y}=±\sqrt{(64ft/s)^{2}-2(32ft/s^2)(-960ft)}=±256ft/s

Since the projectile is going down the velocity at the instant it reaches the ground is:

v=-256ft/s

two toy cars can roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Car A is a 5 kg. Car B is 0.5 kg. Both cars start from rest. Equ
Llana [10]

Answer:

A. The momentum of car A(5kg) is EQUAL to that of car B(0.5)

Explanation:

The moment, or impulse formula of the same forces acting on both car within 1 second is

\Delta p = F * \Delta t

In our case the forces are the same, the time duration of force acting on the cars are the same. Therefore, their momentum right after the force must also be the same.
