Answer:
The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.
Explanation:
In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.
We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.
Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.
In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.
While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.
Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter
displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground
acceleration is due to gravity
now by kinematics
by solving above equation we have
so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground
Who created the theory of general relativity?:
The answer would be: Albert Einstein.
Albert Einstein developed the general relativity theory (gravitation).
The year he developed the general relativity theory or (GR) was back in 1907 and 1915. Then many other contributions after 1915.
