A 57 kg paratrooper falls through the air. How much force is pulling him down?

Physics
1 answer:
just olya [345]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Force = Mass * acceleration due to gravity.

Given

Mass of the paratrooper = 57kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Required

Force pulling him down

Substitute unto formula;

F = 57 * 9.81

Force = 559.17 N

Hence the force pulling him down is 559.17N

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

a = 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying the definition of angular acceleration, as the rate of change of the angular acceleration, and as the seats begin from rest, we can get the value of the angular acceleration, as follows:

ωf = ω₀ + α*t

⇒ ωf = α*t ⇒ α = \frac{wf}{t} = \frac{1.4 rad/s}{21 s} = 0.067 rad/s2

The angular velocity, and the linear speed, are related by the following expression:

v = ω*r

Applying the definition of linear acceleration (tangential acceleration in this case) and angular acceleration, we can find a similar relationship between the tangential and angular acceleration, as follows:

a = α*r⇒ a = 0.067 rad/sec²*7.5 m = 0.5 m/s²

A 63.0 kg astronaut is on a spacewalk when the tether line to the shuttle breaks. the astronaut is able to throw a spare 10.0 kg
Llana [10]

There are other forces at work here nevertheless we will imagine it is just a conservation of momentum exercise. Also the given mass of the astronaut is light astronaut.

The solution for this problem is using the formula: m1V1=m2V2 but we need to get V1:

V1= (m2/m1) V2


V1= (10/63) 12 = 1.9 m/s will be the final speed of the astronaut after throwing the tank.

As a blacksmith heats a piece of iron, the iron glows red, then yellow, then white. The iron provides a demonstration of which p
Nitella [24]
The answer is D. Blackbody radiation. The piece of iron glows red because its temperature is around 1000 K, then yellow because its temperature is around 2800 K, and then white because its temperature is around 5500K. This shows that the spectrum of the radiation is determined by absolute temperature, as when the temperature of a blackbody radiator increases, the peak of the radiation curve moves to shorter wavelengths.

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

v = 69.82 ms^-1

Explanation:

As we know,

R = vi2 sin2Ꝋ / g  

vi2 =R g / sin2 Ꝋ where R is range R = 52m, Ꝋ = 3 Degrees

vi2 = 52 x 9.8 / sin 2(3) = 4875.227

v = 69.82 ms^-1

Two identical boxes are being pulled across a horizontal floor at a constant velocity by a horizontal pulling force of 176 N tha
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

the tension in the rope between the boxes is equal to 88 N

Explanation:

given,

the force applied on one body F = 176 N

When two bodies are moving on horizontal plane at constant velocity then their kinetic friction (f k) is equal to applied force F

According to newton third law the resultant force acting on one body is equal to the resultant force acting on the another body.

T is the tension in the rope

T- f_k = - (T- f_k)

T - F = - (T - F)

T - 176 = - (T - 0)

2 T = 176

T = 176/2 = 88 N

so, the tension in the rope between the boxes is equal to 88 N
