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>

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 64.7 N64.7 N , Ji

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

(a) Magnitude of force is 262.51 N

(b) Angle with East direction is $-14.75^{o}$

Explanation:

Force by Jack in vector form

$\overrightarrow F _1} = 64.7{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right)$

Force by Jill in Vector form is given by

$\begin{array}{c}\\{\overrightarrow F _2} = 86.5{\rm{ N }}\cos {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 86.5{\rm{ N }}\sin {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( {\widehat j} \right)\\\\ = 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\widehat j} \right)\\\end{array}$

Force by Jane is

$\begin{array}{c}\\{\overrightarrow F _3} = 181{\rm{ N }}\cos {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 181{\rm{ N }}\sin {\rm{4}}{{\rm{5}}^{\rm{o}}}\left( { - \widehat j} \right)\\\\ = 128{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 128{\rm{ N}}\left( { - \widehat j} \right)\\\end{array}$

Net force is:

$\overrightarrow F = {\overrightarrow F _1} + {\overrightarrow F _2} + {\overrightarrow F _3}$

Hence

$\begin{array}{c}\\\overrightarrow F = 64.7{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 61.16{\rm{ N}}\left( {\widehat j} \right) + 128{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) + 128{\rm{ N}}\left( { - \widehat j} \right)\\\\ = 253.86{\rm{ N}}\left( {\hat i} \right) - 66.84{\rm{ N}}\left( {\widehat j} \right)\\\end{array}$

The net force will be given by

$F = \sqrt {{{\left( {{F_x}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {{F_y}} \right)}^2}$

Since $F_{x}=253.86N$ and $F_{y}=-66.84N$

$\begin{array}{c}\\F = \sqrt {{{\left( {253.86{\rm{ N}}} \right)}^2} + {{\left( { - 66.84{\rm{ N}}} \right)}^2}} \\\\ = {\bf{262.51 N}}\\\end{array}$

The direction of net force is:

$\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left {\frac{{{F_y}}}{{{F_x}}}}$

Since $F_{x}=253.86N$ and $F_{y}=-66.84N$

$\begin{array}{c}\\\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{ - 66.84{\rm{ N}}}}{{253.86{\rm{ N}}}}} \right)\\\\ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( { - 0.2633} \right)\\\\ = {\bf{ - 14}}{\bf{.7}}{{\bf{5}}^{\bf{o}}}\\\end{array}$

The angle with East direction is $-14.75^{o}$

Net force exerted on the donkey is in the south-east direction. So, the angle of net force from the east direction is $-14.75^{o}$ and it is $14.75^{o}$ from the south.
