Some runners train with parachutes that trail behind them to provide a large drag force. These parachutes are designed to have a

large drag coefficient. One model expands to a square 1.8 mm on a side, with a drag coefficient of 1.4. A runner completes a 240 mm run at 6.0 m/s with this chute trailing behind.

Answer:

by the drag force, 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J is added to the air.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

drag coefficient of Cd = 1.4

speed v = 6.0 m/s

One model expands to a square 1.8 mm on a side

Area A = 1.8 × 1.8 = 3.24 mm² = 3.24 × 10⁻⁶ m²

distance travelled s = 240 mm = 0.24 m

we know that; density of air e = 1.225 kg/m³

Now,

Dragging force F_D = ( Cd × e × v² × A  ) / 2

thermal energy = F_D × s

so

thermal energy = ( 1.4 × 1.225  × (6)² × (3.24 × 10⁻⁶) × 0.24  ) / 2

thermal energy = ( 4.8009024 × 10⁻⁵ ) / 2

thermal energy = 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore,  by the drag force, 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J is added to the air.

A bullet is shot horizontally from shoulder height (1.5 m) with an initial speed 200 m/s. (a) How much time elapses before the b
daser333 [38]

Answer:

<h2>a) Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.</h2><h2>b) The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m</h2>

Explanation:

a)  Consider the vertical motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Displacement, s = 1.5 m      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      1.5 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 xt²

                      t = 0.553 s

      Time elapsed before the bullet hits the ground is 0.553 seconds.

b) Consider the horizontal motion of bullet

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 200 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²  

        Time, t = 0.553 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 200 x 0.553 + 0.5 x 0 x 0.553²

                      s = 110.6 m

      The bullet travels horizontally 110.6 m
