Answer to Problem 110P

The work done on the stunt woman during the fall is 3.45kJ_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the work energy theorem

    Wtotal=ΔK        (I)

Here Wtotal is the total work done and ΔK is the change in kinetic energy.

Write the expression for kinetic energy.

    ΔK=KfKi        (II)

Here Kf is the final kinetic energy Ki is the initial kinetic energy.

The initial kinetic energy of the woman is zero.

Then,

    Wtotal=Kf=12mvf2        (III)

Here m is the mass of the woman and vf is the final velocity.

Conclusion

Substitute 62.5kg for m and 10.5m/s for vf in (III)

    Wtotal=12(62.5kg)(10.5m/s)2=3.45kJ

The work done on the stunt woman during the fall is 3.45kJ_.

(b)

To determine

The work done by gravity on the stunt woman.

Answer to Problem 110P

The work done by gravity on the stunt woman is 4.96kJ_.

Explanation of Solution

The work done by gravity is the negative of the change in gravitational potential energy of the stunt woman.

Write the expression for work done

    Wgrav=ΔU        (IV)

Here Wgrav is the work done by the gravity on the stunt woman and ΔU is the change in potential energy of the stunt woman.

Write the equation for ΔU

    ΔU=mgΔy        (V)

Here g is the acceleration due to gravity and Δy is the height through which the stunt woman has fallen.

Substitute (IV) in (V)

    Wgrav=mgΔy        (VI)

Conclusion

Substitute 62.5kg for m, 9.8m/s2 for g and 8.10m for Δy in (VI)

    Wgrav=(62.5kg)(9.8m/s2)(8.10m)=4.96kJ

The work done by gravity on the stunt woman is 4.96kJ_.

(c)

To determine

The work done by air resistance on the stunt woman.

(c)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 110P

The work done by air resistance on the stunt woman is 1.52kJ_.

Explanation of Solution

Write the equation for total work done.

    Wtotal=Wgrav+Wair        (VII)

Here Wair is the work done by air resistance on the stunt woman.

Rewrite (VII) in terms of Wair.

    Wair=WtotalWgrav        (VIII)

Conclusion0.

Substitute 3.45kJ for Wtotal and 4.96kJ for Wgrav in (VIII)

    Wair=3.45kJ4.96kJ=1.52kJ

The work done by air resistance on the stunt woman is 1.52kJ_.

(d)

To determine

Magnitude of average force of air resistance.

(d)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 110P

The magnitude of average force of air resistance is 187N_.

Explanation of Solution

Take the positive y direction to be upward.

Write the equation for work done by air resistance.

    Wair=FairΔy        (IX)

Here Fair is the force of air resistance

Rewrite (IX) in terms of Fair

    Fair=WairΔy        (X)

Conclusion

Substitute 1.52kJ for Wair and 8.10m for Δy in (X)

    Fair=1.52kJ8.10m187N

The magnitude of average force of air resistance is 187N_.
