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:

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

The rest of the question

What is (Fnet3)x, the x-component of the net force exerted by these two charges on a third charge q3 = 55.0 nC placed between q1 and q2 at x3 = -1.220 m ? Your answer may be positive or negative, depending on the direction of the force. Express your answer numerically in newtons to three significant figures.

Answer:

The net force exerted on the third charge is $F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The third charge is $q_3 = 55 nC = 55 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the third charge is $x = -1.220 \ m$

The first charge is $q_1 = -16 nC = -16 *10^{-9} \ C$

The position of the first charge is $x_1 = -1.650m$

The second charge is $q_2 = 32 nC = 32 *10^{-9} C$

The position of the second charge is $x_2 = 0 \ m$

The distance between the first and the third charge is

$d_{1-3} = -1.650 -(-1.220)$

$d_{1-3} = -0.43 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is

$F_{1-3} = \frac{k q_1 q_3}{d_{1-3}^2}$

Where k is the coulomb's constant with a value $9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

substituting values

$F_{1-3} = \frac{9*10^{9}* 16 *10^{-9} * (55*10^{-9})}{(-0.43)^2}$

$F_{1-3} = 4.28 *10^{-5} \ N$

The distance between the second and the third charge is

$d_{2-3} = 0- (-1.22)$

$d_{2-3} =1.220 \ m$

The force exerted on the third charge by the first is mathematically evaluated as

$F_{2-3} = \frac{k q_2 q_3}{d_{2-3}^2}$

substituting values

$F_{2-3} = \frac{9*10^{9} * (32*10^{-9}) *(55*10^{-9})}{(1.220)^2}$

$F_{2-3} = 1.06*10^{-5} N$

The net force is

$F_{net} = F_{1-3} -F_{2-3}$

substituting values

$F_{net} = 4.28 *10^{-5} - 1.06*10^{-5}$

$F_{net}= 3.22*10^{-5} \ J$

A sound with an intensity greater than_____ dB can cause damage to human ears.

sergiy2304 [10]

85 decibels or higher can cause damage to the human ear. Decibels is the value of the measurement of sound. Hearing loss can be caused by noise coming from a loud sound. Noise induced hearing loss maybe permanent loss or temporary loss. Examples of activities that can give you a noise induced hearing loss is target shooting, listening to music in your earphones that have a high volume, and using lawnmowers.
