Answer:

497.6 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The net force on the skydiver = weight of the skydiver- the resistive force of air

F' = W-F...................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the skydiver, F = resistive force of air.

But,

W = mg................ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the skydiver, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F' = mg-F............ Equation 3

Given: m = 87 kg, F = 355 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

F' = 87(9.8)-355

F' = 852.6-355

F' = 487.6 N

By the law of momentum conservation:-
=>m¹u¹ + m²u² = m1v1 + m²v² {let East is +ve}
=>u¹ + u² = v¹ + v² {as m1=m2}
=>3.5 - 2.75 = v1-1.5

How many lines per mm are there in the diffraction grating if the second order principal maximum for a light of wavelength 536 n
grandymaker [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and the equations of destructive and constructive interference.

Constructive interference can be defined as

dSin\theta = m\lambda

Where

m= Any integer which represent the number of repetition of spectrum

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Distance between the slits.

\theta= Angle between the difraccion paterns and the source of light

Re-arrange to find the distance between the slits we have,

d = \frac{m\lambda}{sin\theta }

d = \frac{2*536*10^{-9}}{sin(24)}

d = 2.63*10^{-6}m

Therefore the number of lines per millimeter would be given as

\frac{1}{d} = \frac{1}{2.63*10^{-6} }

\frac{1}{d} = 379418.5\frac{lines}{m}(\frac{10^{-3}m}{1 mm})

\frac{1}{d} = 379.4 lines/mm

Therefore the number of the lines from the grating to the center of the diffraction pattern are 380lines per mm

A skier of mass 60 kg is pulled up a slope by a motor-driven cable. (a) How much work is required to pull him 75 m up a 30° slop
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of skier=60 kg

distance traveled by skier=75 m

inclination(\theta )=30^{\circ}

speed (v)=2.4 m/s

as the skier is moving up with a constant velocity therefore net force is zero

F_{net}=0

Force applied by cable=mg\sin \theta

F=60\times 9.8\times \sin (30)=294 N

work done=F\cdot x

W=294\cdot 75=22.125 J

(b)Power=F\cdot v

P=294\cdot 2.4=705.6 W\approx 0.946 hp
