Gravitational force is a non-contact force.
Answer:
Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec
Explanation:
Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg
Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm
So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m
Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m
Frictional force f = 0.031 N
Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m
Energy gained by spring
Energy lost due to friction
So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J
This energy will be kinetic energy
v = 1.40 m/sec
<span>Weight of the skydiver m = 500 N
Terminal velocity V = 90 km/h
Here the weight of the person acts as the force, so based on the Newton's third law the applied is the force what we but in the opposite direction making the resistance. So the air resistance exerted on Suzie will be her weight that is 500N</span>
Ok i apologise for the messy working but I'll try and explain my attempt at logic
Also note i ignore any air resistance for this.
First i wrote the two equations I'd most likely need for this situation, the kinetic energy equation and the potential energy equation.
Because the energy right at the top of the swing motion is equal to the energy right in the "bottom" of the swing's motion (due to conservation of energy), i made the kinetic energy equal to the potential energy as indicated by Ek = Ep.
I also noted the "initial" and "final" height of the swing with hi and hf respectively.
So initially looking at this i thought, what the heck, there's no mass. Then i figured that using the conservation of energy law i could take the mass value from the Ek equation and use it in the Ep equation. So what i did was take the Ek equation and rearranged it for m as you can hopefully see. Then i substituted the rearranged Ek equation into the Ep equation.
So then the equation reads something like Ep = (rearranged Ek equation for m) × g (which is -9.81) × change in height (hf - hi).
Then i simplify the equation a little. When i multiply both sides by v^2 i can clearly see that there is one E on each side (at that stage i don't need to clarify which type of energy it is because Ek = Ep so they're just the same anyway). So i just canceled them out and square rooted both sides.
The answer i got was that the max velocity would be 4.85m/s 3sf, assuming no losses (eg energy lost to friction).
I do hope I'm right and i suppose it's better than a blank piece of paper good luck my dude xx
