a) 0.94 m
The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:
where:
is the force applied by the snow
d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him
m = 68 kg is the man's mass
v = 0 is the final speed of the man
u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)
and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)
Solving the equation for d, we find:
b) -3740 kg m/s
The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:
where
m = 68 kg is the mass of the man
is the change in velocity of the man
Substituting,
Answer:
EP = 49.05Joules (J)
Explanation:
The equation for Potential energy (EP) is
EP = m g h
We are given the values below (do convert them into SI units)
m = 0.0025kg
h = 2000m
g = 9.81m/
Substitute the values into the equation and solve for EP
EP = 0.0025 * 2000 * 9.81
EP = 49.05Joules (J)
Answer:
+16 J
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:
where
is the change of the internal energy of the system
Q is the heat (positive if supplied to the system, negative if dissipated by the system)
W is the work done (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surroundings on the system)
In this case we have:
Q = -12 J is the heat dissipated by the system
W = -28 J is the work done ON the system
Substituting into the equation, we find the change in internal energy of the system:
