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

Peter participated in a 5 k race and finished the race in 17 min. A 5 k race is 5,000 m long. How would you calculate peters ave
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer: Peters average speed in m/min is 294.1176 m/min


Step-by-step explanation:


Peter participated in a 5000m race and finished the race in 17 min.


Speed is calculated as Distance/Time


Peters average speed in m/min = Distance covered in m / Time taken in minutes

= 5000/17

= 294.1176 m/min


Therefore, Peters average speed in m/min = 294.1176 m/min


Hope it helps.


Thank you :)

Find the domain: y= 6+9x 6− x−1
inna [77]

Answer:

Domain = {All real values of x EXCEPT x = -5 and x = 7}

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a rational function given as y=\frac{6+9x}{6-|x-1|}y=

6−∣x−1∣

6+9x

The domain is the set of all real value of x for which the function is defined.

For rational functions, we need to find which value of x makes the denominator equal to 0. We need to exclude those values from the domain.

Now

6 - |x-1| = 0

|x-1| = 6

x- 1 = 6

or

-(x-1) = 6

x = 6+1 = 7

and

-x+1=6

x = 1-6 = -5

So, the x values of -5 and 7 makes this function undefined. So the domain is the set of all real numbers except x = -5 and x = 7
