An 87-kg skydiver is observed to be falling at an acceleration of 5.3 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the force of air resistance on the skydiver?
A skydiver has a mass of 72 kg and a weight of 706 N. He is descending on a parachute and his speed is still increasing at 1.2 m/s2. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force on the skydiver? Explain. What is the magnitude and direction of the force that the parachute harness exerts on the skydiver? Explain.
A skydiver weighing 170 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 13,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. Assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|?|0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 18|?|18|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity ?vis measured in ft/s. Assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is...
When an object falls in Earth's gravitational field (think of a skydiver jumping from an airplane or a marble falling in a tank of oil), it accelerates due to the force of gravity. If gravity were the only force acting on the object, then all objects-elephants and feathers alike would fall at the same rate. But gravity is not the only force present. Moving objects also experience resistance or friction from the surrounding medium; it would be air resistance for...
When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it.This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the skydiver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the skydiver is 915 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1027 N. Themass of the sky diver is 93.4 kg. What are the magnitude anddirection of his acceleration?
2 pts A 900 N skydiver is falling down experiencing air resistance. What should be the magnitude of air resistance in order to reach terminal velocity? 90N zero. 900 N 9000 N
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 skydiver jumps out of a plane. Her mass is 50kg. What is the force due gravity(weight) of the skydiver...what is her acceleration?
Suppose a 2 kg object is falling through the air and accelerating downwards at 8 m/s2. Taking g = 10 m/s2 What is the magnitude and direction of the force of air resistance on it? 2N downward 2N upward 1N downward 1N upward
A skydiver of mass m jumps from a hot air balloon and falls a distance d before reaching a terminal velocity of magnitude v . Assume that the magnitude of theacceleration due to gravity is g .-What is the work (Wd) done on the skydiver, over the distance , by the drag force of the air?-Find the power (P d) supplied by the drag force after the skydiver has reached terminal velocity v.
