A space vehicle deploys its re–entry parachute when it's traveling at a vertical velocity of –150 meters/second (negative becaus

e the parachute is going down.) It comes to rest at 0 meters/second after 30 seconds. What's the average acceleration of the shuttle during this time span?

Answer:

a=5m/s^2

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

v_{1}=150m/s

and the final velocity is :

v_{2}=0 m/s

so, the change in velocity is:

\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) =  150 m/s

and the change in time , according to the problem:

\Delta t=30s

So, the aceleration is:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2

What is the difference in PE
Blababa [14]

Answer:

831.4 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass adult: 82.5kg

mass child: 14.7kg

height of wall: 1.25m

g = 9.81m/s^2

PE = mgh

For adult:

mgh = (82.5kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1.25m) = 1011.65 J

For child:

mgh = (14.7kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1.25m) = 180.25 J

Difference in PE: 1011.65 J - 180.25 J = 831.4 J
