Question
Bronco skydives and parachutes from a stationary helicopter. Various stages of fall are shown in positions a through f as illustrated below. Using Newton's 2nd law, a = F(net)/m = W - R , where a is acceleration, W is weight and R is air Resistance. Find Bronco's acceleration at each positions athrough f (Type in on Google form answers a-f, show supporting calculations on your notes). Bronco's mass is 100 kg so his weight W is a constant 1000 N. Air resistance R varies with speed and cross-sectional area as show.

- A gymnast is practicing on a long, straight balance beam. Starting in the middle of thebeam (at a position of 1 m), the gymnast walks in the negative direction at 3 m/s for1.5 s, pauses for 2 s, and jogs in the opposite direction at 4 m/s for 2 s. Graph thegymnast’s motion on the three graphs below. You must show your reasoning for eachthe graph to receive full credit.arrow_forwardUse Newton's Second law to write equations of motion for each of the two masses. Make sure you use the coordinate system given in the figure in the introduction. Use notation so that's it's clear which object you're examining, for example call ag the acceleration of the glider and an the acceleration of the hanging weight. The acceleration of the glider and the hanging mass are related since they are connected by a string. The relevant relationship is aGz = -ahy - The reason for the minus sign is that when the glider accelerations in the +x direction, the hanging mass accelerates in the -y direction. Using this fact, and combining the two equations you wrote in the previous part, solve for the acceleration of the glider in terms of the masses m, , mG , and other known constants.
