A person whose weight is 516 N is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is 30.5 m deep. The maximum tension that the rope can withstand without breaking is 593 N. What is the shortest time, starting from rest, in which the person can be brought out of the cave?
During a military training in Camp Jizmundo, Libas, Banga, Aklan , a sky diver of
weighing 82 kg ( including equipment ) falls vertically downward from an altitude
of 1500 meters, and opens the parachute after 10 sec of free fall. Assume that the
force of air resistance is proportional to velocity. The air drag coefficient before
opening the chute is k1 = 1.65 kg/sec , when the parachute is closed and after
opening the chute k2 = 26.4 kg/sec.Take g = 9.8 m/s

- If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.arrow_forwardA large crate of mass m is placed on the flatbed of a truck but not tied down. As the truck accelerates forward with acceleration a, the crate remains at rest relative to the truck. What force causes the crate to accelerate? (a) the normal force (b) the gravitational force (c) the friction force (d) the ma force exerted by the crate (e) No force is required.arrow_forwardDoes the ground need to exert a force on you for you to jump off the ground, or do you need to exert a force on the ground?
