A 7.0kg skydiver is descending with a constant velocity

Physics
1 answer:
Pavel [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Air resistance: 68.6 N

Explanation:

For the skydiver falling down, there are two forces acting on him:

- The force of gravity, of magnitude

W=mg

where

m = 7.0 kg is the mass of the skydiver

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

This force acts in the downward direction

- The air resistance, R, in the upward direction

So the net force on the skydiver is:

\sum F=mg-R

According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force is also equal to mass times acceleration:

\sum F=ma

However, in this problem the skydiver is falling at constant velocity, so his acceleration is zero:

a=0

Therefore, the net force is zero:

\sum F=0

And so we can find the magnitude of the air resistance, which is equal to the weigth of the skydiver:

mg-R=0\\R=mg=(7.0)(9.8)=68.6 N

A diver dives off of a raft - what happens to the diver? the raft? how does this relate to newton's third law? action force: ___
kondaur [170]
<span>Actually newtons third law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, Hence here in this case, the diver diving of a raft is the action, after which surely reaction should come in the form where the raft and the driver will rebound with same speed back, and hence here the action force is diving and reaction force is rebounding from the diving place, with same intensity.</span>

A car is moving in the positive direction along a straight highway and accelerates at a constant rate while going from point A t
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The time where the avergae speed equals the instaneous speed is T/2

Explanation:

The velocity of the car is:

v(t) = v0 + at

Where v0 is the initial speed and a is the constant acceleration.

Let's find the average speed. This is given integrating the velocity from 0 to T and dividing by T:

v_{ave} = \frac{1}{T}\int\limits^T_0 {v(t)} \, dt

v_ave = v0+a(T/2)

We can esaily note that when <u><em>t=T/2</em></u><u><em> </em></u>

v(T/2)=v_ave

Now we want to know where the car should be, the osition of the car is:

x(t) = x_A + v_0 t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Where x_A is the position of point A. Therefore, the car will be at:

<u><em>x(T/2) = x_A + v_0 (T/2) + (1/8)aT^2</em></u>

STatiana [176]
Use the density formula:

Mass of the substance
————————————
Volume of the substance

This gives you the density.


Corn syrup has a density of about 1.4 grams per cubic centimeter, and has the highest density of all liquids!

Hope this helps!
