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 fluid flows through a pipe whose cross-sectional area changes from 2.00 m2 to 0.50 m2 . If the fluid’s speed in the wide part
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

v₂ = 7/ (0.5)= 14 m/s

Explanation:

Flow rate of the fluid

Flow rate is the amount of fluid that circulates through a section of the pipeline (pipe, pipeline, river, canal, ...) per unit of time.

The formula for calculated the flow rate is:

Q= v*A Formula (1)

Where :

Q is the Flow rate (m³/s)

A is the cross sectional area of a section of the pipe (m²)

v is the speed of the fluid in that section (m/s)

Equation of continuity

The volume flow rate Q for an incompressible fluid at any point along a pipe is the same as the volume flow rate at any other point along a pipe:

Q₁= Q₂

Data

A₁ = 2m² : cross sectional area 1

v₁ = 3.5 m/s : fluid speed through A₁

A₂ = 0.5 m² : cross sectional area 2

Calculation of the fluid speed through A₂

We aply the equation of continuity:

Q₁= Q₂

We aply the equation of Formula (1):

v₁*A₁= v₂*A₂

We replace data

(3.5)*(2)= v₂*(0.5)

7 = v₂*(0.5)

v₂ = 7/ (0.5)

v₂ =  14 m/s

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>​
Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.
