Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.

"Asteroid" is the name we give to the huge number of small bodies
that orbit the sun, here in the inner solar system.

Their orbits are scattered all over the place.  Most of them spend
most of the time between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, but there are
many asteroids that sometimes come very close to Earth.

an airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of 235m. if the ball lands on the ground exactly at 2
Oksanka [162]
<span>When the question says the ball lands a distance of 235 meters from the release point, we can assume this means the horizontal distance is 235 meters. Let's calculate the time for the ball to fall 235 meters to the ground. y = (1/2)gt^2 t^2 = 2y / g t = sqrt{ 2y / g } t = sqrt{ (2) (235 m) / (9.81 m/s^2) } t = 6.9217 s We can use the time t to find the horizontal speed. v = d / t v = 235 m / 6.9217 s v = 33.95 m/s Since the horizontal speed is the speed of the plane, the speed of the plane is 33.95 m/s</span>

Answer:

a) P1=100kpa

V1=6m³

V2=?

P2=50kpa

rearranging mathematically the expression for Boyle's law

V2=(P1V1)/P2=(100×6)/50=12m³

b) same apartment as in (a) but only the value of P2 changes

=> V2=(100×6)/40=15m³

Explanation:

since temperature is not changing we use Boyle's law. mathematically expressed as P1V1=P2V2
