A parachutist whose mass is 75kg drops from a helicopter hovering 4000m above the ground and falls toward the earth under the in

fluence of gravity. Assume the gravitational force is constant. Assume also that the force due to the air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist with the proportionality constant b_1 = 15N sec/m when the chute is close and b_2 = 105N sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does open 1 min after the parachutist leaves the helicopter after how many seconds will he hit the ground?

Answer:

the parachutist hits the ground at t= 211.43 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

from Newton's second law:

Force = m*g - b*v = m*dv/dt

∫dt = ∫dv/(g - b/m*v) = - (m/b) ln (g - b/m*v) +C

t = - (m/b) ln (g - b/m*v) +C

assuming that he starts at rest (when he jumps) for t =0 → v=0

0 = - (m/b) ln (g - b/m*0) +C → C=(m/b) ln g

thus

t = (m/b) ln [g/(g - b/m*v)]

e^(b/m*t) = g/(g - b/m*v)

e^-(b/m*t) = 1- b/(m*g)*v

v= m*g/b [1-e^-(b/m*t) ]

then

dh/dt=v

∫dh = ∫v * dt = v=  ∫ m*g/b [1-e^-(b/m*t) ] dt =  m*g/b*[t + m/b *e^-(b/m*t)]

h = m*g/b*[t + m/b *e^-(b/m*t)]

then

a) before it opens b₁= 15N sec/m , thus

h = 75*9.8/15*[ 60 + 75/15 *e^-(15/75*60)] = 2940 m

b) after if opens  b₂= 105N sec/m , thus for the remaining meters

4000 - 2940 = 75*9.8/105*[ t + 75/105 *e^-(105/75*t)] =

since the equation is not linear we can neglect the exponencial term ( assume that reaches fast the terminal velocity since b is high), then

4000 - 2940 = 75*9.8/105* t

t= 151.43 sec

then to prove our assumption

additional distance neglected = 75/105 *e^-(105/75*151.43 )] = 2,36*10⁻³⁷ m ≈ 0

then our assumption is right

thus total time is

t total =  60 sec + 151.43 sec = 211.43 sec

therefore the parachutist hits the ground at t= 211.43 sec

Which expressions are equivalent to the one below? Check all that apply. <br><br> 9^x
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A) 3^{x}*3^{x}

B) 3^{2x}

C) (3 * 3)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the exponential expression, 9^{x}:

A)  3^{x}*3^{x} is equivalent to 9^{x} due to the Product Rule of exponents:  a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}.  

  • 3^{x}*3^{x} = 3^{x+x} = 3^{2x}

Next, apply the Power-to-Power Rule of exponents:  a^{mn} = (a^{m} )^{n}.  

  • 3^{x}*3^{x} = 3^{x+x} = 3^{2x} = (3^{2})^{x}  = 9^{x}

B)   3^{2x}  is equivalent to 9^{x} due to the Power-to-Power Rule of exponents:  a^{mn} = (a^{m} )^{n}.  

  • 3^{2x} = (3^{2})^{x} = (9)^{x} = 9^{x}.    

C)  (3 * 3)^{x}  is equivalent to 9^{x} due to the Product-to-Power Rule of exponents:  (ab)^{m} = a^{m} b^{m}.  

  • (3 * 3)^{x} = (9)^{x}  = 9^{x}

PLEASE HELP ME OUT!!

Short answer A
This one is exactly the same (with number changes) as the last one. You cannot use t which is in time, to mix with pure numbers which in this case is grams. That means that both C and D are incorrect.

Now as with the last one, are you going to raise e to a minus number or a plus number? Remember that if e is raised to a plus number, the sample in this case will increase. You are watching a radioactive decay. The number has to be smaller. So B is eliminated. There is only one answer left and that's A. It should be correct.

Llana [10]
You add all the percentages up and it will give you 64. take 64 and put it over 100 because percentages as a fraction will always be the amount over a 100.  
so its 64/100 multiply by 4000/1. 64*4000= 256000 over 100. 256000 divided by 100 = 2560

$2560
