Homework Answers
If the parachute had not been used, landing speed would have been,
v = (2gh)1/2 = (2 * 9.81 * 700)1/2 = 117.2 m/s
Energy dissipated, E = 85 * (117.22 - 3.62) / 2 = 583 kJ
SOLUTION :
P. E. lost on reaching the ground
= m g h
= 85 * 9.8 * 700
= 583100 J
K. E. of the driver at the time of landing
= 1/2 m v^2
= 1/2 * 85 * (3.6)^2
= 550.8 J
Energy dissipated by the parachute during dive
= 583100 - 550.8
= 582549.2 J
= 583 kJ approx. (ANSWER)

A sky diver jumps from a helicopter and is falling straight down at 30 m/s when her parachute opens. From then on, her downward acceleration is approximately = g - cv^2, where g = 9.81 m/s^2 and c is a constant. After an initial "transient" period the descends at a nearly constant velocity of 5 m/s. (a) What is the value of c, and what are its 9 units? (b) What maximum deceleration is the sky diver subjected to? (c)...

A 3900 kg car is parked at the top of an 8.7 m long driveway that is sloped at 17? with the horizontal. The parking brake fails. If an average friction force of 4200 N im- pedes the motion, find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Starting from rest, a 10.0 kg suitcase slides 3.00 m down a frictionless ramp inclined at 31.0? from the floor. The...

A skydiver of mass 75 kg jumps with a parachute from an airplane. After the parachute opens, she falls with an acceleration of 2.4 m/s22 downward. What is the magnitude of the force with which the parachute pulls on the person?

A sky diver jumps out of an airplane and after dropping a distance of 46 m, the diver has lost 25000.0 J of gravitational potential energy. What is the gravitational force acting on the diver? between 700 and 750 N between 600 and 650 N between 850 and 900 N between 550 and 600 N between 650 and 700 N less than 550 N greater than 900 N between 750 and 800 N

1. If a sky-diver jumps out of a plane, two forces will act on him, gravity and air resistance. If we assume air resistance is proportional to the velocity, we get the total force on the sky diver will be F = −gm − kv, where g is a acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth, m is the mass of the sky-diver, v is the velocity of the sky-diver, and k is constant of proportionality for...

A parachutist jumps out of a plane at an altitude of 3000 meters. The parachutist unfolds his parachute when he reaches a height of 800 m. Then the parachute is unfolded, the parachutist will: (a) continue to fall downwards but the speed quickly becomes significantly slower; (b) stop for a moment, and then continue to fall, but slower than before the parachute unfolded; (c) go up for a moment, and then continue to fall, but slower than before the parachute...

A skydiver jumps off of an airplane. The plane flies at an altitude of 4 km, and at a speed of 100 km/hr. The skydiver "jumps" by simply letting go of the plane and falling out. Gravity is the only thing affecting their motion until they open their parachute at a height of 2.5 km. After opening their parachute, they experience constant acceleration until they land perfectly, with...

A ball of soft clay with mass 1 kg falls from a height of 10 m starting at rest. When the clay hits the ground it flattens and comes to a stop. Which of the following is true? Gravity does work on the ball equal to 980 J, and all this energy is dissipated during the deformation of the ball on impact.
