Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 55QAP

The terminal velocity of the person with parachute is 6.17ms-1

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mass of the person

- 70.0kg

Proportionality constant value

- 12.0 ms1

Formula used:

Newton's second law - F=ma ( Used considering the vertical axis)

  Fdrag on person +(Wperson)=0

  Fdrag=cv2

Calculation:

  Fdrag on person +(W person)=0For terminal velocitycv2terminal(mg)=0

To increase the velocity to 20.0 ms1.

  Fdrag on person +(W person)=0For terminal velocityFdrag on person +(mg)=0cv2terminal+(( 50.0kg)( 9.80  ms 2 ))=0cv2terminal=686 kgms2v2terminal=686  kgms 2cvterminal= 686  kgms 2 c  kgm 1 vterminal=1c(26.192)ms1vterminal=1 18(26.192)ms1=6.17ms-1

Conclusion:

Thus, the terminal velocity of the person with parachute is vterminal=6.17ms-1

To determine

(b)

The value of the proportionality constant c when the terminal velocity is 50.0 ms1.

Answer to Problem 55QAP

The value of the proportionality constant c when the terminal velocity is 50.0 ms1 is 0.2744 kgms1

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mass of the person

- 70.0kg

Terminal velocity

- 50.0 ms1

Formula used:

Newton's second law - F=ma ( Used considering the vertical force components)

  Fdrag on person +(Wperson)=0

  Fdrag=cv2

Calculation:

  Fdrag on person +(W person)=0For terminal velocitycv2terminalmg=0

  c( ( 50  ms 1 )2)+(( 70.0kg)( 9.80  ms 2 ))=0c=686  kgms 22500  m2s 2c=0.2744 kgms1

Conclusion:

Thus, the value of the proportionality constant c when the terminal velocity is 50.0 m/s is 0.2744 kgms1
