A skydiver of mass m jumps from a hot air balloon and falls a distance d before reaching a terminal velocity of magnitude v . As

sume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g .
a. What is the work (Wd) done on the skydiver, over the distance , by the drag force of the air?
b. Find the power (P d) supplied by the drag force after the skydiver has reached terminal velocity v.

Answer:

Explanation:

work done by gravitational force during fall of distance d = mgd

work done by drag = w ( let )

mgd - w = 1/2 m v²

w = m g d - 1/2 m v²

so work done by drag force

= m g d - 1/2 m v²

b ) when terminal velocity is reached , drag force = mg

power supplied by drag force = force x velocity

= mg x v

P_d = mgv

A 25N force is acting on a body moving on a straight line with Initial momentum 20 kam's. Find the final momentum after 4 second
Nezavi [6.7K]

The final momentum of the body is equal to 120 Kg.m/s.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

Momentum can be described as the multiplication of the mass and velocity of an object. Momentum is a vector quantity as it carries magnitude and direction.

If m is an object's mass and v is its velocity then the object's momentum p is: {\displaystyle \mathbf {p} =m\mathbf {v} . The S.I. unit of measurement of momentum is kg⋅m/s, which is equivalent to the N.s.

Given the initial momentum of the body = Pi = 20 Kg.m/s

The force acting on the body, Pf = 25 N

The time, Δt = 4-0 = 4s

The Force is equal to the change in momentum: F ×Δt = ΔP

25 × 4 = P - 20

100 = P - 20

P = 100 + 20 = 120  Kg.m/s

Therefore, the final momentum of a body is 120 Kg.m/s.

Consider the following cyclic process carried out in two steps on a gas. Step 1: 44 J of heat is added to the gas, and 20. J of
notka56 [123]

Answer:37 J

Explanation:

Given

Step :1

Heat added Q=44 J

Work done=-20 J

\Delta E_1=Q+W=44-20=24 J

Step :2

Heat added Q=-61 J

work done W_2

\Delta E_2=Q+W_2

\Delta E_2=61+W_2

\Delta E_1+\Delta E_2=0

as the process is cyclic

44-20-61+W_2=0

W_2=37 J

work done in compression is 37 J

A heat pump is to be used for heating a house in winter. The house is to be maintained at 70°F at all times. When the temperatur
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

\dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

Explanation:

Temperature of the house, T_{H} = 70^{0} F

Convert to rankine, T_{H} = 70^{0}+ 460 = 530 R

Heat is extracted at 40°F i.e T_{L} = 40^{0}F  = 40 + 460 = 500 R

Calculate the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, COP

COP = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H} - T_{L}  } \\COP = \frac{530 }{530 - 500  }\\ COP = \frac{530}{30} \\COP = 17.67

The minimum power required to run the heat pump is given by the formula:

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{\dot{Q_{H} }}{COP} \\...............(*)

Where the heat losses from the house, \dot{Q_{H} } = 75,000 Btu/h

Substituting these values into * above

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{75000}{17.67} \\ \dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

What is the term for the overall change in position?
mart [117]
That's "displacement". It only depends on the beginning and ending locations, and doesn't care about the route between them.
