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>

A 2430 pound roller coaster starts from rest and is launched such that it crests a 105 ft high hill with a speed of 59 mph. The

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of roller coaster is $W=2430\ pound$

mass of roller coaster $m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{2430}{32.2}=75.45$

Distance traveled by roller coaster $d=396\ ft$

drag force $f_d=85\ pounds$

velocity at top $v=59 mph\approx 86.53\ ft/s$

Suppose E is the initial energy

Conserving Energy at bottom and top

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh+f_d\cdot d$

$E=0.5\times 75.45\times 86.53^2+2430\times 105+85\times 396$

$E=2.9\times 10^5\ foot-pound$

7. Un bloque de 700 N se encuentra sobre una viga uniforme de 200 N y 6 m de longitud. El bloque está a una distancia de 1 m del

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

x = 0.176 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will take the condition of rotational equilibrium, where the reference system is located on the far left and the wire on the far right. We assume that counterclockwise turns are positive.

Let's use trigonometry to decompose the tension

sin 60 = $T_{y}$ / T

T_{y} = T sin 60

cos 60 = Tₓ / T

Tₓ = T cos 60

we apply the equation

∑ τ = 0

-W L / 2 - w x + T_{y} L = 0

the length of the bar is L = 6m

-Mg 6/2 - m g x + T sin 60 6 = 0

x = (6 T sin 60 - 3 M g) / mg

let's calculate

let's use the maximum tension that resists the cable T = 900 N

x = (6 900 sin 60 - 3 200 9.8) / (700 9.8)

x = (4676 - 5880) / 6860

x = - 0.176 m

Therefore the block can be up to 0.176m to keep the system in balance.
