Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

$s_2 = gt^2/2$

$s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2$

$v_2 = gt$

$v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)$

Their difference in distance are therefore:

$\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2$

$\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)$

$\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t)$ (As $A^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)$

$\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)$

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

$\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt$

$\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t$

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.

o-na [289]

Answer:

a) U = 735 J , b) U = 125.7 J , c) U = 0 J

Explanation:

The gravitational power energy is

U = mg y - mg y₀

The last value is a constant, for simplicity we can make it zero, if the lowest point is at the origin of the coordinate system, which in this case we will place in the lowest part

a) Rope is horizontal

The height in this case is the same length of the rope

y = 2.10 m

w = mg = 350 N

U = 350 2.10

U = 735 J

b) when the angle is 34º

y = L - L cos 34

y = L (1- cos34)

y = 2.10 (1- cos 34)

y = 0.359 m

U = 350 0.359
