How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?

Physics
1 answer:
Wittaler [7]3 years ago
3 0

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force.  The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.25-kg mass is hung from the spring. After all vibrations have died away, the spring
ch4aika [34]

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of object = m = 1.25 kg

initial extension = x = 0.0275 m

final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m

<u>Asked:</u>

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>

F = k x

mg = k x

k = mg \div x

k = 1.25(9.8) \div 0.0275

k = 445 \frac{5}{11} \texttt{ N/m}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>

Ep_1 + Ek_1 = Ep_2 + Ek_2

\frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}k x^2 + Ek

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh - \frac{1}{2}k x^2

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k ( (x')^2 - x^2 ) + mgh

Ek = \frac{1}{2}(445 \frac{5}{11}) ( 0.0460^2 - 0.0275^2 ) + 1.25(9.8)(0.0735)

\boxed {Ek \approx 1.20 \texttt{ J}}

By using kepler's 3rd law we find that ___________.
tangare [24]

Answer;

By using kepler's 3rd law we find that;

-A year on Earth is shorter than a year on Saturn.

Explanation;

-Kepler’s 3rd law states that the square of a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the cube of its average distance from the Sun (semi-major axis), which tells us that more distant planets move more slowly in their orbits.

-In other words, if you square the 'year' of each planet, and divide it by the cube of its distance to the Sun, you get the same number, for all planets. The law captures the relationship between the distance of planets from the Sun, and their orbital periods.
