While skydiving, your parachute opens and you slow from 50.0 m/s to 8.0 m/s in 0.75 s . Determine the distance you fall while th

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

21.75 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to slow down = 0.75 s

u = Initial velocity = 50 m/s

v = Final velocity = 8 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{8-50}{0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-56\ m/s^2$

Acceleration is -56 m/s²

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{8^2-50^2}{2\times -56}\\\Rightarrow s=21.75\ m$

The distance covered in the 0.75 seconds is 21.75 m

An object of mass 700700 kg is released from rest 20002000 m above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity

qwelly [4]

Answer:

59.503987 seconds

Explanation:

b = Proportionality constant = 50 Ns/m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = Mass of object = 700 kg

We have the equation of velocity

$v(t)=\dfrac{mg}{b}+\left(V_0-\dfrac{mg}{b}\right)e^{\dfrac{bt}{m}}$

The equation of motion

$x(t)=\dfrac{mg}{b}+\dfrac{m}{b}\left(V_0-\dfrac{mg}{b}\right)(1-e^{\dfrac{bt}{m}})$

$x(t)=\dfrac{700\times 9.81}{50}+\dfrac{9.81}{50}\left(0-\dfrac{700\times 9.81}{50}\right)(1-e^{\dfrac{50t}{700}})$

when x(t)=2000

$2000=\dfrac{700\times 9.81}{50}+\dfrac{9.81}{50}\left(0-\dfrac{700\times 9.81}{50}\right)(1-e^{\dfrac{50t}{700}})\\\Rightarrow 2000\times \:50=\frac{700\times \:9.81}{50}\times \:50+\frac{9.81}{50}\left(0-\frac{700\times \:9.81}{50}\right)\left(1-e^{\frac{50t}{700}}\right)\times \:50\\\Rightarrow 6867-\frac{67365.27}{50}\left(1-e^{\frac{50t}{700}}\right)=100000\\\Rightarrow 50\left(-\frac{67365.27}{50}\left(1-e^{\frac{50t}{700}}\right)\right)=93133\times \:50\\\Rightarrow \frac{-67365.27\left(1-e^{\frac{50t}{700}}\right)}{-67365.27}=\frac{4656650}{-67365.27}\\\Rightarrow 1-e^{\frac{50t}{700}}=-69.12538\dots\\\Rightarrow -e^{\frac{50t}{700}}=-70.12538\dots\\\Rightarrow t=14\ln \left(70.12538\dots \right)\\\Rightarrow t=59.50398\ s$
