- Parachute manufacturers provide the fall speed of an open chute as a function of person weight. If we open our chute at 3000 ft, how long will it take to land? Select all observations that apply below. A. Gravity opposes the fall of an open chute. B. Fall speed equals left parenthesis person weight right parenthesis cubed divided by left parenthesis density of air right parenthesisFall speed=(person weight)3/(density of air). C. It takes 5 minutes to land regardless of person weight. D. There is little need to make observations.arrow_forwardA 65 kg student stands on a bathroom scale in an elevator. She notices that the scale reads 520 N. Assume downward is positive. Round all answers to the whole numbers. 1. The scale reads the actual (actual/apparent) weight of the student. 2. There are forces in the FBD. 3. The student's weight is 637 N. 4. The net force acting on the student is N. 5. The acceleration of the elevator is m/s?. 6. If the elevator has a speed of 1.7 m/s, it travels m after 3 s.arrow_forwardAnswer the following problems and explain your answers for better understanding.arrow_forward
- Analyzing Forces: Using Newton's 2nd Law A fireman has a mass of 75 kg. When the bell in the firehouse starts ringing, he slides down the pole with an acceleration of 3 m/s². What is the total force of friction acting on his body? 1. Identify the problem: What quantity are you being asked to find? What units will this answer be in? 2. Visualize and then sketch the problem. Draw arrows to illustrate the direction of the two forces acting on the fireman. Label these two forces by name. Do not use numbers yet. 3. These two forces act in opposite (+/-) directions and they will partially cancel. Assign the + value to the stronger force. The sum of these two forces is called the Net Force and it is the force which will actually move the fireman. Fill in the names of these two forces in the equation template below. (Hint: Remember that mass and weight are not the same.) Do not use numerical values yet: Net Force = + 4. Newton's 2nd Law gives us another equation for calculating Net Force: Net…arrow_forwardAnswer the following problems and explain your answers for better understanding.arrow_forward1. What are the SI units of mass, acceleration, weight, and force? 2. List 3 types of contact forces and one long-range force (names and symbols). 3. What are the conditions for equilibrium (words and equations)? 4. A force is applied to a rope that is connected to two other ropes as shown. Draw a free body diagram for the O-ring connecting all 3 ropes and use Newton’s 1st Law to calculate the tensions in ropes 1 and 2.arrow_forward
