Force of 500 N is acting on the parachutist.
Parachutist applies 500 N force in downward direction.
Answer:
300 N upward
Solution:
Parachutist feels air resistance of 800 N.
Thus, 800 N of force is acting in upward direction.
Total force acting on the parachutist is given by,
= air resistance force - force of parachutist
= 800-500
= 300 N
Direction of force is in upward direction because the air resistance force is more than force of parachutist.
This type of a problem can be solved by considering energy transformations. Initially, the spring is compressed, thus having stored something called an elastic potential energy. This energy is proportional to the square of the spring displacement d from its normal (neutral position) and the spring constant k:
So, this spring is storing almost 12 Joules of potential energy. This energy is ready to be transformed into the kinetic energy when the masses are released. There are two 0.2kg masses that will be moving away from each other, their total kinetic energy after the release equaling the elastic energy prior to the release (no losses, since there is no friction to be reckoned with).
The kinetic energy of a mass m moving with a velocity v is given by:
And we know that the energies are conserved, so the two kinetic energies will equal the elastic potential one:
From this we can determine the speed of the mass:
The speed will be 7.74m/s in in one direction (+), and same magnitude in the opposite direction (-).
Answer:
Therefore, the moment of inertia is:
Explanation:
The period of an oscillation equation of a solid pendulum is given by:
(1)
Where:
Let's solve the equation (1) for I
Before find I, we need to remember that
Now, the moment of inertia will be:
Therefore, the moment of inertia is:
