A sky diver with a mass of 70kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on the sky diver is known to be Fd=kV^

xeze [42]

Answer:

$v_{max}=52.38\frac{m}{s}$

$v_{100}=33.81$

Explanation:

the maximum speed is reached when the drag force and the weight are at equilibrium, therefore:

$\sum{F}=0=F_d-W$

$F_d=W$

$kv_{max}^2=m*g$

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{m*g}{k}} =\sqrt{\frac{70*9.8}{0.25}}=52.38\frac{m}{s}$

To calculate the velocity after 100 meters, we can no longer assume equilibrium, therefore:

$\sum{F}=ma=W-F_d$

$ma=W-F_d$

$ma=mg-kv_{100}^2$

$a=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}$ (1)

consider the next equation of motion:

$a = \frac{(v_{x}-v_0)^2}{2x}$

If assuming initial velocity=0:

$a = \frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}$ (2)

joining (1) and (2):

$\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}$

$\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}+\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}=g$

$v_{100}^2(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})=g$

$v_{100}^2=\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}}$ (3)

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{2*100}+\frac{0.25}{70})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{280})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{3}{350})}}$

$v_{100}=\sqrt{1,143.3}$

$v_{100}=33.81$

To plot velocity as a function of distance, just plot equation (3).

To plot velocity as a function of time, you have to consider the next equation of motion:

$v = v_0 +at$

as stated before, the initial velocity is 0:

$v =at$ (4)

joining (1) and (4) and reducing you will get:

$\frac{kt}{m}v^2+v-gt=0$

solving for v:

$v=\frac{ \sqrt{1+\frac{4gk}{m}t^2}-1}{\frac{2kt}{m} }$

HELP! Can an object that is in motion have balanced forces? Explain your answer

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Newton's first law says that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

If an object in motion has balanced forces, it will stay in motion. For example, if an object is falling at terminal velocity (for example, a parachuter), then the force of gravity is equal and opposite to the force of air resistance. The forces are balanced, and the object continues to fall at a constant speed.
