A. Height = .5gt^2
H=32Km=32000m
acceleration due to gravity , g=9.8 m/sec^2
So,
the time taken, t=sqrt(2H/g)=80.81 sec
A parachutist of mass 70 kg jumps from a plane at an altitude of 32 km...
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...
Note that the answer is not: - 0 m/s^2 - 7.848 m/s^2 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 skydiver jumps from a plane and deploys her parachute. Do not neglect air resistance. After the parachute is deployed, will the sum of kinetic energy plus potential energy be conserved (K+P=constant)? Why/why not?
Suppose a skydiver jumps out of a plane at 15,000 meters above the ground. It takes him 2.0 seconds to pull the cord to deploy the parachute and another 2.0 seconds for the parachute to be fully deployed. Additionally, in order to land safely on the ground, his parachute must be fully deployed 10.0 seconds before he hits the ground. With this information and assuming there is no additional air resistance or changes in atmospheric density, what is the maximum...
2. A 60 kilogram skydiver (more correctly termed a "skyflopper", as the picture below indicates) jumps from a plane at a height of 1000 meters with an initial velocity of v(0) = 0 meters per second, and falls subject to air resistance whose magnitude is given by 15e, for 25 seconds. At this time his parachute opens and the air resistance is now 180. Assume that the positive direction is downward and the gravitational acceleration constant is g -9.8 m/s,...
A parachutist whose mass is 80 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 2500 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of grevity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportonality constant b,-30 N secim when the chute is closed and b2 100 N sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 20 m/sec,...
A parachutist whose mass is 65 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 1500 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b 20 N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b2 90 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 25 m/sec, after...

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...
Q1: A 1 036-kg satellite orbits the Earth at a constant altitude of 93-km. (a) How much energy must be added to the system to move the satellite into a circular orbit with altitude 203 km? MJ (b) What is the change in the system's kinetic energy? MJ (c) What is the change in the system's potential energy?
