initial speed of 226000 m/s
acceleration of 4.0 x 1014 m/s2,
speed of 781000 m/s
What is Acceleration?
- Acceleration is a rate of change of velocity with respect to time with respect to direction and speed.
- A point or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it speeds up or slows down.
- Acceleration formula can be written as,
a = (v - u ) / t m/s²
As we have to find the time taken, the formula can be altered as,
where, t - time taken to reach a final speed
v - final velocity
u - initial velocity
a - acceleration.
Substituting all the given values,
= 1.3875 × 10⁻⁹ seconds.
So, taken to reach the final speed is found to be 1.3 × 10⁻⁹ 8iH..
Answer: 52 kg skydiver: 9.09 m/s and 522.55 s
95 kg skydiver: 12.3 m/s and 386.2 s
Explanation: <u>Drag</u> <u>Force</u> is an opposite force when an object is moving in a fluid.
For skydivers, when falling through the air, the forces acting on it are gravitational and drag forces. At a certain point, drag force equals gravitational force, which is constant on any part of the planet, producing a net force that is zero. Since there is no net force, there is no acceleration and, consequently, velocity is constant. When that happens, the person reached the <u>Terminal</u> <u>Velocity</u>.
Drag Force and Velocity are proportional to the squared speed. So, terminal velocity is given by:
where
m is mass in kg
g is acceleration due to gravitational force in m/s²
ρ is density of the fluid in kg/m³
C is drag coefficient
A is area of the object in the fluid in m²
Calculating:
The 52kg skydiver has terminal velocity of:
9.09
The 95kg skydiver's terminal velocity is
12.3
The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' terminal velocity are 9.09m/s and 12.3m/s, respectively.
The time each one will reach the floor will be:
52 kg at 9.09 m/s:
t = 522.5
95 kg at 12.3 m/s:
t = 386.2
The 52 kg and 95kg skydivers' time to reach the floor are 522.5 s and 386.2 s, respectively.
