- An 8.6 kg body undergoes an acceleration of 2.7 m/s2. What is the magnitude of the resultant force acting on it (in N)? If this same force is applied to a 5.2 kg body, what is the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2)?arrow_forwardYou are trying to escape a hoard of zombies and must make an elevator to get down a cliff as fast as possible. As you cannot hit the ground faster than 10m/s and the cliff is 25m deep, this limits your acceleration to 2 m/s2 (you will want to accelerate at this rate to get down the cliff as fast as you can). Assuming your and the bucket’s mass together is 100kg (m2) , what is the minimum mass (m1) that the sled must be to prevent your death (assume the ground is frictionless).arrow_forwardA skydiver weighing 178 lbf (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 5000 ft and opens the parachute after 17s of free fall. Assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is 0.76 |v| when the parachute is closed and 12 |v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. Use g = 32 ft/s². Round your answers to two decimal places. (a) Find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. v(17) = i ft/s (b) Find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. x(17) = i ft (c) What is the limiting velocity v after the parachute opens?
