Describe the forces that act on a skydiver before

Physics
1 answer:
MrRissso [65]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<em>Before the parachute opens: Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.</em>

<em>Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.</em>

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The banking angle is 23.84 degrees.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of the curve, r = 194 m

Speed of the car, v = 29 m/s

On the banked curve, the centripetal force is balanced by the force of friction such that,

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{rg}

tan\theta=\dfrac{(29)^2}{194\times 9.8}

\theta=23.84^{\circ}

So, the banking angle is 23.84 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 5.00-m-long uniform ladder, weighing 200 N, rests against a smooth vertical wall with its base on a horizontal rough floor, a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

0.488  m  

Explanation:

If θ be the angle ladder makes with the plane

cos θ = 1.2 / 5

Tan θ = 4.04

Let the height a person of weight 600 N  can climb be h from the ground .

Distance from the base point  where ladder touches the floor  = h / tanθ

= h / 4.04

Total reaction force = total downward force

R = 200 + 600

800 N

Frictional force = μ R

= .2 x 800

= 160 N

Taking moment of force about the point on the ladder  where it  touches the floor  and balancing them

200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = μ R x  1.2 / tanθ ( reaction  at the top point of ladder where it touches the wall is  R₁ and

R₁ =μ R   )

= 200 x 1.2 x .5 + 600 x   h / tanθ  = 160 x 1.2 / tanθ

120  - 600 h / 4.04 = 47.52

120 - 47.52 = 600 h / 4.04

72.48= 148.51 h

h = 0.488  m  

=

What is your hypothesis (or hypotheses) for this experiment?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: In that case, Put something like "My hypothesis is that the car will take (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 1, (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 2, (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 3, and (x) seconds to get to checkpoint 4" Replacing x with random numbers, or number close to the actual found numbers, but honestly as long as the guesses arent outrageous you should get the question right
