How do the forces on a skydiver affect the velocity of the skydiver as they fall? Hellp

When a skydiver falls, he constantly accelerates. Therby, falling faster and faster. But also he is slowed down a bit due to the force of air resistance.

Answer:

Explanation:

As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.

A porter can carry 40 bricks of 10 N load of each. He can carry up to 75m in 40 sec, calculate his power.

alexira [117]

Answer:

750W

Explanation:

40×10= 400N

work done= force × distance

=400 × 75

=30000 J

Power= work done/ time

= 30000 ÷ 40

= 750 W

While running at a constant velocity, how should you throw a ball with respect to you so that you can catch it yourself?

timurjin [86]

You are running at constant velocity in the x direction, and based on the 2D definition of projectile motion, Vx=Vxo. In other words, your velocity in the x direction is equal to the starting velocity in the x direction. Let's say the total distance in the x direction that you run to catch your own ball is D (assuming you have actual values for Vx and D). You can then use the range equation, D= (2VoxVoy)/g, to find the initial y velocity, Voy. g is gravitational acceleration, -9.8m/s^2. Now you know how far to run (D), where you will catch the ball (xo+D), and the initial x and y velocities you should be throwing the ball at, but to find the initial velocity vector itself (x and y are only the components), you use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the hypotenuse. Because you know all three sides of the triangle, you can also solve for the angle you should throw the ball at, as that is simply arctan(y/x).

A playground merry-go-round has a mass of 115 kg and a radius of 2.50 m and it is rotating with an angular velocity of 0.520 rev

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

Explanation:

For answer this we will use the law of the conservation of the angular momentum.

$L_i = L_f$

so:

$I_mW_m = I_sW_f$

where $I_m$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round, $W_m$ is the initial angular velocity of the merry-go-round, $I_s$ is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round and the child together and $W_f$ is the final angular velocity.

First, we will find the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round using:

I = $\frac{1}{2}M_mR^2$

I = $\frac{1}{2}(115 kg)(2.5m)^2$

I = 359.375 kg*m^2

Where $M_m$ is the mass and R is the radio of the merry-go-round

Second, we will change the initial angular velocity to rad/s as:

W = 0.520*2 $\pi$ rad/s

W = 3.2672 rad/s

Third, we will find the moment of inertia of both after the collision:

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}M_mR^2+mR^2$

$I_s = \frac{1}{2}(115kg)(2.5m)^2+(23.5kg)(2.5m)^2$

$I_s = 506.25kg*m^2$

Finally we replace all the data:

$(359.375)(3.2672) = (506.25)W_f$

Solving for $W_f$ :

$W_f = 2.319 rad/s$

Look at the circuit below. What is the voltage between points C and D?

stepan [7]

Option c) 1.5 V

Explanation:

<em>As the circuit is build in series first we will find the current passing through the complete circuit. Current stays the same in each element is the series cirucuit, however, the voltage is different.</em>

Voltage is given by the following formula:

V = IR

<em>Because we have to find current through whole circuit, we will first find resistance of the whole circuit.</em>

Equivalent Resistance R(eq): R1 + R2 = 60 + 60 = 120 ohm

Current passing through whole circuit be:

$I = \frac{V}{R(eq)}\\I = \frac{3}{120}$ = 0.025

Now we will find out the voltage between C and D:

Current stays the same in series circuit: I = 0.025 c

Resistance between C and D is, R = 60 ohm

Voltage becomes, V = IR = 0.025 * 60 = 1.5 V
