A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a

cceleration over a distance of 0.750 m, what force does the ground exert on her? (b) If the parachutist comes to rest over a shorter distance, is the force exerted by the ground greater than, less than, or the same as in part (a)? Explain.

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

Kelli weighs 440 N, and she is sitting on a playground swing that hangs 0.41 m above the ground. Her mom pulls the swing back an
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial height from the ground = .41 m

Final height = 1m

Height by which Kelli was raised ( h )= .59 m

When she passes through the lowest point , she loses P E

= mgh

= 440 x .59

= 259.6 J

kinetic energy possessed by her

= 1/2 mv²

= .5 x (440/9.8) x 2²

= 89.8 J

Difference of energy is lost due to work by  air friction

work done by  friction = 89.8 - 259.6

= - 169.8 J
