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

Which wave property changes when two waves interfere in the same medium?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>When two waves of same frequency travel in a medium simultaneously in the same direction then, due to their superposition, the resultant intensity at any point of the medium is different from the sum of intensities of the two waves. At certain points the intensity of the resultant wave has a large value while at some points it has a very small or zero. This is called wave interference.</span>

Help me with the following problem
Effectus [21]

The mass of the ball is 1.55 kg and its change in momentum is  10 kgm/s.

<h3>What is momentum of a body?</h3>

The momentum of a body is the product of the mass and velocity of the body.

  • Momentum = mass * velocity

Mass of the ball = momentum/velocity

Mass of the ball = 3.29 / 2.11 = 1.55 kg

The change in momentum of the body or Impulse = force * time

Change in momentum of the body = 5.00 * 2.00 = 10 kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of a body depends on its mass and velocity.

How can one find the mechanical advantage of a pulley?
Alborosie

Answer:

To calculate the mechanical advantage of a pulley you simply have to count the number of rope sections that support whatever object you are lifting (not counting the rope that is attached to the effort)

Example:

For example, in a one pulley system the MA is 1. In a two pulley system the MA is 2. The more compound the pulley is the easier the load is to lift. If you were lifting a 600kg object with 2 pulleys you would have to use enough effort to pull 300kg to lift the 600kg object! Therefore your mechanical advantage would be 2 (600/300).

               MA= load/effort OR number of rope sections
