A skydiver of 75 kg mass has a terminal velocity of 60 m/s. At what speed is the resistive force on the skydiver half that when

ankoles [38]

Answer:

The speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of skydiver, m = 75 kg

terminal velocity, $V_T = 60 \ m/s$

The resistive force on the skydiver is known as drag force.

Drag force is directly proportional to square of terminal velocity.

$F_D = kV_T^2$

Where;

k is a constant

$k = \frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2}$

When the new drag force is half of the original drag force;

$F_D_2 = \frac{F_D_1}{2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_2}{V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{F_D_1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{F_D_1}{2V_{T2}^2} \\\\\frac{1}{V_{T1}^2} = \frac{1}{2V_{T2}^2}\\\\2V_{T2}^2 = V_{T1}^2\\\\V_{T2}^2= \frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} \\\\V_{T2}= \sqrt{\frac{V_{T1}^2}{2} } \\\\V_{T2}= \frac{V_{T1}}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\V_{T2}= 0.7071(V_{T1})\\\\V_{T2}= 0.7071(60 \ m/s)\\\\V_{T2}= 42.426 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the resistive force is 42.426 m/s

A 1000-kg car moving at 10 m/s brakes to a stop in 5 s. the average braking force is

Marina86 [1]

To calcculate the braking force of the car moving, we use Newton's second law of motion which relates the acceleration and the force of an object moving. The force of an object moving is directly proportional to its acceleration and the proportionality constant is the mass of the object. It is expressed as:

Force = ma

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of a moving object. We calculate acceleration from the velocity and the time given above.

a = (10 m/s) / 5 s = 2 m/s^2

So,
Force = ma
Force = 1000 kg ( 2 m/s^2 )
Force = 2000 kg m/s^2 or 2000 N

A thin, uniform rod is bent into a square of side length a. If the total mass is M, find the moment of inertia about an axis thr

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is

$I_s = \frac{Ma^2}{3}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of one side of the square is $a$

The total mass of the square is $M$

Generally the mass of one size of the square is mathematically evaluated as

$m_1 = \frac{M}{4}$

Generally the moment of inertia of one side of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_g = \frac{1}{12} * m_1 * a^2$

Generally given that $m_1 = m_2 = m_3 = m_4 = m$ it means that this moment inertia evaluated above apply to every side of the square

Now substituting for $m_1$

$I _g= \frac{1}{12} * \frac{M}{4} * a^2$

Now according to parallel-axis theorem the moment of inertia of one side of the square about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_a = I_g + m [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

=> $I_a = I_g + {\frac{M}{4} }* [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

substituting for $I_g$

=> $I_a = \frac{1}{12} * \frac{M}{4} * a^2 + {\frac{M}{4} }* [\frac{q}{2} ]^2$

=> $I_a = \frac{Ma^2}{48} + \frac{Ma^2}{16}$

=> $I_a = \frac{Ma^2}{12}$

Generally the moment of inertia of the square about an axis through the center and perpendicular to the plane of the square is mathematically represented as

$I_s = 4 * I_a$

=> $I_s = 4 * \frac{Ma^2}{12}$

=> $I_s = \frac{Ma^2}{3}$
