Answer:

6.22²

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the skydiver, m = 80 kg

Terminal speed of the skydiver, v(f) = 50 m/s

Speed of the skydiver, v(i) = 30 m/s

Acceleration of the skydiver, a = ?

To solve this, we use the formula

W - k v² = ma, where

W = weight of the skydiver

k = constant

v = speed of the skydiver

m = mass of the skydiver

So, if we substitute the values into it we have

W = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N

784 - k 50² = 80 *0

784 - 2500k = 0

784 = 2500k

k = 0.3136

Now, we use this value of k to find the needed acceleration using the same formula at a speed of 30 m/s

784 - 0.3136 * 30² = 80 * a

784 - 0.3136 * 900 = 80a

784 - 282.24 = 80a

497.76 = 80a

a = 497.76 / 80

a = 6.22 m/s²

Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration when the speed of the skydiver is 30 m/s, is 6.22 m/s²

A green block of mass m slides to the right on a frictionless floor and collides elastically with a red block of mass M which is
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

M is equal to m

Explanation:

In case we say that the green block's mass m is less than red block's mass M, then the green block would have bounced and moved back to the left instead of coming to rest. The other case where if mass of green block's mass m would have been greater than the red block's mass M, the green block would have kept moving to the right instead of coming to rest. After collision, the red block moves to the right because of exchange of velocities. Therefore, m=M since m comes to rest and M moves to the right

In any collision, as it is asumed that no external forces can act during the collision, momentum must be conserved.

So, if we call p₁ to the momentum before collision, and p₂ to momentum after it, taking into account the information above, we can write the following:

p₁ = mv₁ + M.0 = p₂ = m.0 + Mv₂ ⇒ mv₁ = Mv₂

From the question, we also know that it was an elastic collision.

In elastic collision, added to the momentum conservation, it must be conserved the kinetic energy also.

So, if we call k₁ to the kinetic energy prior the collision, and k₂ to the one after it, we can write the following:

k₁ = 1/2 m(v₁)² + 1/2 M.0 = k₂ = 1/2m.0 + 1/2M(v₂)² ⇒ m(v₁)² = M(v₂)²

Mathematically, the only way in which both equations be true, should be with v₁ = v₂,  which is only possible if m=M too.

In this type of collision, it is said that the energy transfers from one mass to the other.
