Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.
Answer
D. 0.25 meters/second2
Explanation
The average acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity to the change in time of travel.Taking in this case that the change of velocity is a unit, then Average acceleration is given by;
Aacc=Vf-Vi/Tf-Ti
where Vf=final velocity,Vi=initial velocity' Tf=final time, Ti=initial time
Vf-Vi=1m/s
Tf-Ti=4-0=4seconds
Avacc=1/4=0.25m/s2
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv
So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s
P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s
P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s
B has the greatest momentum
Answer:
230kg would be the best answer
