Jason takes off from rest across level water on his jet-powered skis. The combined mass of Jason and his skis is 75 kg (the mass of the fuel is negligible). The skis have a thrust of 200 N and a coefficient of kinetic friction on water of 0.10. Unfortunately, the skis run out of fuel after only 16 s. What is Jason's top speed

27.04 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Total mass,M=75 kg

Thrust force=F=200 N

Coefficient of friction,

Time,t=16 s

We have to find the Jason's top speed.

Net force,F=Ma=Thrust-Friction

Where

We know that

Substitute the  values

Hence, Jason's top speed=27.04 m/s

attach the statements so i can answer : )

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
