A 62 kg skydiver moving at terminal speed falls 50 m in 1 s. What power is the skydiver expending on the air?

Physics

IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

P = 30380 W

Explanation:

given,

mass of the skydiver, m = 62 Kg

distance, s = 50 m

time, t = 1 s

we know,

Power= \dfrac{work\ done}{time}

Power= \dfrac{F.s}{t}

F = m g

Power= \dfrac{m g.s}{t}

inserting all the values

P = \dfrac{62\times 9.8\times 50}{1}

P = 30380 W

hence, Power the skydiver expending on the air is 30380 W

Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.
Serga [27]
"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up.  It also doesn't mean
slowing down.  Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.

The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.

Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.

A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):

-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun

You are sitting on a deck of your house surrounded by oak trees. You hear the sound of an acorn hitting the deck. You wonder if
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: 96N

Explanation:

To calculate the velocity of the impact On the persons head, we have

h = gt²/2

14 = 9.81t²/2

t² = 28/9.8

t² = 2.86

t = 1.69s

V = u + at

V = 0 + 9.81*1.69

V = 16.58m/s

a(average) = (v1² + v2²) /2Δy

a(average) = 16.58² + 0)/2 * 0.005

a(average) = 274.8964/0.01

a(average) = 27489.64m/s²

Using newton's second law of motion,

F(average) = m * a(average)

F(average) = 0.0035 * 27489.64

F(average) = 96.21N

Therefore the force needed by the acorn to do much damage starts from 96N

A 1200 kg car is brought from 25 m/s to 10m/s over a time period of 5 seconds. Determine the force experienced by the car
aleksklad [387]
It's simple.
We know force is the rate of change in momentum.
So F=(mv-mu)/t or F=m(v-u)/t
=1200*(25-10)/5=3600N
