When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
1 answer:
Answer:
None of the above forces on air drag on him is equal to his weight
Explanation:
In the velocity-time graph,the gradient of the curve where it is flatten shows the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity when it reaches terminal velocity which means the parachutist reaches constant velocity or speed,indicating that the acceleration of free fall(g) is zero.And according to the resultant force formula weight - air drag= mass*acceleration. so when accelerate is zero,resultant force is zero. And hence the equation will be like this: weight= air drag

Answer:
A) The resultant force is 43.4 [N]
B) The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis
Explanation:
We need to make a sketch of the different forces acting on the heavy crate.
In the attached image we can see the forces and the sum of the vector with their respective angles.
Forces in the X-axis
Forces in the y-axis
Using the Pythagorean theorem
The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis, this can be easily seen in the graphical sum of vectors.
