Aparachutist bails out and freely falls50m. Then the parachute opens, and there after she decelerates at2.0m/s2She reaches the ground with a speed of3.0m/s. (a) How long is the parachutist in the air? (b) At what height does the fall begin?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The parachutist is in the air for17s .

(b) From 290mthe fall begins.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

y=50m

vf=3.0m/s

02

To understand the concept

The problem deals with the kinematic equations of motion. Kinematics is the studies of how a system of bodies moves without taking into account the forces or potential fields that influence the motion. The equations which are used in the study are known as kinematic equations of motion.

Formula:

The displacement is given by,

y=v0t+12at2

The final velocity is expressed as,

vf2=v02+2ay

vf=v0+at

03

(a): Calculation for time for which parachutist was in the air

During free fall the initial velocity parachutist is 0 m/s and acceleration of the is

a=g=-9.8m/s2

According to the newton鈥檚 second kinematic equation,

y=v0t+12at2

50=0-0.59.8t2

role="math" localid="1662968239356" t=3.19s3.2s

The final velocity of the parachutist in free fall can be calculated as below,

According to the newton鈥檚 third kinematic equation,

vf2=v02+2ay

vf2=29.850

vf=31.3m/s

This final velocity for free fall of the parachutist is her initial velocity after parachute is open.

According to the newton鈥檚 first kinematic equation,

vf=v0+at

3=31.3-2t

role="math" localid="1662968456612" t=31.3-32

t=14.1514sec

Therefore, the time for which the parachutist is in the air is,

3.19+14.15=17.3417sec

04

(b): Calculation of height at which the falling started

The displacement of the parachutist after parachute opened can be calculated as below,

According to the newton鈥檚 second kinematic equation,

y=v0t+12at2

y=31.314-0.52142

y=242240m

Therefore, the height from which the fall begins is,

h=50+240290m

(a) If a particle鈥檚 position is given by x=4-12t+3t2(where tis in sec and x in metres), what is its velocity at t=1sec? (b) Is it moving in positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) What is its speed just then? (d) Is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (Try answering the next two questions without further calculations) (e) Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t, if no, answer no. (f) Is there a time after t=3secwhen the particle is moving in negative direction of x? If so, give the time t, if no, answer no.

The Zero Gravity Research Facility at the NASA Glenn Research Center includes a 145mdrop tower. This is an evacuated vertical tower through which, among other possibilities, a 1mdiameter sphere containing an experimental package can be dropped. (a) How long is the sphere in free fall? (b) What is its speed just as it reaches a catching device at the bottom of the tower? (c) When caught, the sphere experiences an average deceleration of 25gas its speed is reduced to zero. Through what distance does it travel during the deceleration?

: Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane鈥檚 flight-data recorder, commonly called the 鈥渂lack box鈥 in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape. The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3400gduring a time interval of 6.50ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?

At a construction site, a pipe wrench stuck the ground with a speed of 24 m/s(a)From what height was it inadvertently dropped? (b)How long was it falling? (c)Sketch graphs of y,v and a versus t for the wrench.

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration aof2.2m/s2. At the same instant, a truck traveling with a constant speed of9.5m/s, overtakes and passes the automobile. (a)How far beyond the traffic signal will the automobile overtake the truck? (b)How fast will the automobile be traveling at that instant?
