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

The county fair charges $2.50 per ticket for the rides. Henry bought 15 tickets for the rides and spent a total of $55.50 at the
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

<em>(A)  $18</em>

<em>(B)   y=2.50x+18</em>

<em>(C)   Coefficient of x-term represents the cost for each ride ticket and constant term represents the cost of admission to the fair.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(A)

The county fair charges $2.50 per ticket for the rides and Henry bought 15 tickets for the rides.

So, the total cost of the 15 tickets will be:  (\$2.50*15)= \$37.50

He spent total $55.50 on ride tickets and fair admission.

So, the cost of admission to the fair will be:  (\$55.50-\$37.50)= \$18

(B)

If x represents the number of ride tickets and y represents the total cost, then the cost for x number of ride tickets is \$2.50x

So, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who pays for ride tickets and fair admission will be:   y= 2.50x+18

(C)

In the above linear equation, <u>coefficient of x-term is 2.50, which represents the cost for each ride ticket</u>.

And the <u>constant term is 18, which represents the cost of admission to the fair</u>.

Find the value of X.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles are vertical angles which mean they are equal

3x=120

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = 120/3

x = 40
