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

Explain how if a solid, liquid, and gas are put into individual containers how they fill the container.
Sav [38]

Answer:

serial in which container is filled

Solid -base of container

Liquid- above solid

Gas- above liquid

Explanation:

If any mixture of  matter in different state (that solid , liquid or gas )are kept in any container, then substance with higher density will be settled at lowest surface first and similarly the substance with lowest density will be at upper part of container.

In the given container we have to keep solid, liquid and gas

  • sold has the highest density,
  • gas the lowest density and
  • liquid has the density higher than gas but less than solid.

based on this

solid will be at surface of container

above sold will be liquid

above liquid will be presence of Gas

serial in which container is filled

Solid -base of container

Liquid- above solid

Gas- above liquid
