At about 55 meters/sec, a falling parachuter (before the parachute opens) no longer accelerates. Air friction opposes accelerati

on. Although the affect of air friction begins gradually, imagine that the parachuter is free falling until terminal speed ( the constant falling speed) is reached. How long would that take?

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s².
That means that if air resistance is neglected, a falling body
smoothly gains 9.8 m/s of downward speed each second.

If our intrepid chutist lightly stepped out of the plane or was
gently pushed, so that his initial downward speed was zero
and grew by 9.8 m/s every second, then it took him ...

               (55) / (9.8)  =  5.6 seconds

to reach that particular downward speed.

An electron of mass 9.11×10−31 kgkg leaves one end of a TV picture tube with zero initial speed and travels in a straight line t
ki77a [65]

Explanation:

We will use the equations of constant acceleration to find out a_{x} and time t.

As we know that the initial speed is zero. So

(a)  

v_{0x} = 0

x - x_{o} = 1.25×10^{-2}m

v_{x} = 3.3×10^{6}m/s

v^{2} _{x} =  v^{2} _{x_{o} } + 2a_{x} (x - x_{o} )

a_{x} = \frac{v^{2} _{x} - v^{2} _{ox} }{2(x - x_{o}) }

   = \frac{(3.3 * 10^{6})^{2}  - 0 }{2(1.25 * 10^{-2}) }

   = 4.356×10^{14} m/s²

(b)

v_{x} = v_{ox} + a_{x}t

t = v_{x} - vo_{x}/a_{x}

t = \frac{3.00 * 10^{6} }{4.356*10^{14} } = 6.8870×10^{-9}s

(c)

ΣF_{x} = ma_{x}

       = (9.11×10^{-31})(4.356×10^{14}m/s²)

       = 3.968×10^{-16} N

The ball of dough hits the floor and does not rebound.
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

When the ball goes down its mechanical energy is conserved, ust before touching the ground all the energy is kinetic

When the ball touches the floor, energy has been converted into potential and heat, by the deformation of the ball.

Explanation:

When the ball goes down its mechanical energy is conserved, this is the power energy due to the height it is converted into kinetic energy to medicad that falls, just before touching the ground all the energy is kinetic.

When the ball touches the floor, the kinetic energy is not conserved, but if we define a system formed by the ball and the floor, the amount of movement is conserved, this being an inelastic shock, because the bla and the floor are stuck, so which energy has been converted into potential and  energized and heat by the deformation of the ball.

   Consequently all the mechanical energy that the ball brings before reaching the ground was converted into potential energy and heat during the crash.
