A 1,198 N sky diver has opened his parachute to slow his descent to a constant speed the parachute applies 1,277 N of force. He

experiences a 7.5 m/s2 deceleration. What is the mass of the sky diver?

The mass of the skydiver is 122.2 kg

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the concept of weight.

The weight of a body is the force of gravity acting on the body; near the Earth's surface, its magnitude is given by

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the body

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

In this problem, we know the weight of the skydiver:

W = 1198 N

So we can re-arrange the equation to find its mass:

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{1198}{9.8}=122.2 kg

Answer:

xxxx

Explanation:

Mars also has a thin atmosphere. Because of this it has potential to host humans and other organic life. That makes Mars the best choice for thriving colony off the earth. The moon has also been proposed as the first location for human colonization but it not known to have air or water.

Can you help me please?

<h3>Answer</h3>

option B)

19N

<h3>Explanation</h3>

If the object is at equilibrium, then the net force acting upon the object should be 0 N. Thus, if all the forces are added together, horizontal and vertical forces separately, then the resultant force (the vector sum) should be 0 Newton.

As we only need to find the magnitude of x-component of force F

so find all x component/horizontal forces acting on the object.

50cos(40) - 40cos(25) + 30cos(55) + x = 0

38.30 - 36.25 + 17.21 + x + = 0

19.26 + x = 0

x = - 19.26

x ≈ 19 (magnitude only)

An applied force varies with position according to F = k1 x n − k2, where n = 3, k1 = 3.6 N/m3 , and k2 = 76 N. How much work is
aniked [119]

Answer:

The work done is 205 kJ.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Work can be calculated using the following equation:

W = F · Δx

Where:

W = work

F = applied force

Δx = displacement

In this case, the force varies with the position, so we can divide the traveled distance in very small parts and calculate the work done over each part of the trajectory. Then, we have to sum all the works and we will obtain the work done from the initial position (xi) to the final position (xf). This is the same as saying:

W = ∫ F · dx  

F = 3.6 N/m³ · x³ - 76 N

W = ∫ (3.6 x³ - 76)dx

W = 0.9 x⁴ - 76x

Evaluating from xi to xf:

W = 0.9 N/m³ (21.9 m)⁴ - 76 N · 21.9 m - 0.9 N/m³(5.41 m)⁴ + 76 N · 5.41 m

W = 205 kJ

How are longitudinal and transverse waves different?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.
