What are the two forces that are acting on the skydiver? What is

Physics
1 answer:
Cloud [144]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Gravity provides a downward force, resulting in the diver going downward. They speed up like any falling object would, the pull of gravity is a dominant force. (There is a drag force – as a result of moving through the air.)

Seema knows the mass of basketball. What other information is needed to find the balls potential energy
Lelu [443]

Answer: The height (position) of the ball and the acceleration due gravity

Explanation:

In this case we are taking about gravitational potential energy, which is the energy a body or object possesses, due to its position in a gravitational field.  In this sense, this energy depends on the relative height of an object with respect to some point of reference and associated with the gravitational force.  

In the case of the Earth, in which the gravitational field is considered constant, the gravitational potential energy U will be:  

U=mgh  

Where:

m is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity (assuming the ball is on the Earth surface)

h is the height (position) of the ball respect to a given point

Note the value of the gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height.

Notice that the speed halfway down is not half the final speed. Another interesting point is that the final answer doesn't depen
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

its speed is insignificant before the diver's speed change, so the result does not change

Explanation:

In this exercise of conservation of the momentum, the system is formed by the diver and the Earth

initial instant (before jumping)

       p₀ = 0

final instant (after jumping)

      p_{f} = m v + M v²

how momentum is conserved

        p₀ = p_{f}

        0 = m v + M v²

         v² = m / M v

since the mass of the Earth is M = 10²⁴ kg

   its speed is insignificant before the diver's speed change, so the result does not change

A mine elevator cage with a mass of 2.5 tons empty is descending at a rate of 32 km/hr when the hoist mechanism jams and stops s
True [87]

Answer:

σ = 4.1 MPa

Explanation:

Given that

m= 2.5 kg

v=  32 km.hr

v= 8.88 m/s

The kinetic energy of the mass ,KE

KE = mv²/2

KE = 2.5 x 8.88²/2

KE= 98.56 J    -------1

The strain energy of the string

E=\dfrac{\sigma^2}{2E}AL

E=\dfrac{\sigma^2}{2\times 84,000\times 10^6}\times 6.5\times 10^{-4}\times 1500

E={\sigma^2}\times {5.80\times 10^{-12}} ----2

KE= E

98.56={\sigma^2}\times {5.80\times 10^{-12}}

\sigma =\sqrt{\dfrac{98.56}{5.80\times 10^{-12}}}

σ = 4.1 MPa
