A daredevil drops from rest out of a stationary helicopter from a height of 3000 m. She does so without a parachute. A parachute is launched simultaneously from the ground below straight up toward the daredevil. If the parachute is to reach the daredevil when she is still 500 m above the ground, at what speed must the parachute leave the ground? Ignore drag. Group of answer choices 98.5 m/s 133 m/s 79.1 m/s 159 m/s 247 m/s

A parachutist whose mass 85 kg drops from a helicopter hovering 2500 m above the ground and falls toward the ground under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force due to air resistance is proportional to the velocity of the parachutist, with the proportionality constant b1=30 N-sec/m when the chute is closed and b2=100 N-sec/m when the chute is open. If the chute does not open until the velocity of the parachutist reaches 20 m/sec, after how many seconds...

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 9.7 m/s. At a height of 175 m above the Earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [Hint: What is v 0 for the package?] (Your answer must be in units of seconds and include two digits after the decimal point. Maximum of 3% of error is accepted in your answer.  Take g=9.80 m/s 2.)

A hot air balloon drops a 20 kg package from rest at a height of 120 m from the ground. Assume we can ignore friction losses, as the package falls through the air. a) How much initial potential energy is stored by the package? b) What is the kinetic energy of the package just before it hits the ground? c) What is the speed of the energy before it hits the ground?

A rock is dropped, from rest, from a height of 8.9 m above the ground at t = 0 s. At the same time that the rock is dropped a stone is thrown upward from a height of 1.1 m above the ground at a speed of 7.1 m/s. The stone travels straight upward toward the rock. There is no air resistance. a. Determine the height above the ground where the rock hits with the stone. Blank 1. Calculate the...

The rocket is launched at 36° with the ground (stage A), from rest towards the East. The rocket engine provides a constant net acceleration of 4.1 ms-2 and burns for 8.6 s (stage B). During this stage (i.e. AB) the rocket travels in a straight-line. At the end of stage B the engine shuts off and rocket starts moving as a typical projectile. After reaching its maximum height (stage C), it drops for 82 m and then a parachute opens...

Change the Gravity to 9.80 m/s2.. Keep the height of the cannon at ground level. Determine what angles you must have the cannon tilted at to have the cannon ball land at the target 20.5 m away when you have an initial speed of 20 m/s using the simulation. Let the mass of the cannon ball remain at 17.60 kg and the diameter at 0.18 m. Then use the Range formula R=v02sin(2θ)g to verify the angles. (Hint: recall from Trigonometry...
