Question: Suppose that a parachutist wtih linear drage ( m = 7 0 kg , c = 1 2 . 5 kg / s ) jumps
Suppose that a parachutist wtih linear drage mkg c kgs jumps from an airplane flying at an altitude of m with a horizontal velocity of relative to the ground.
PLEASE LOOK AT SECOND IMAGE FOR REQUIREMENTS FOR ANSWERS. Thanks
a Write a system of four differential equations for and
b If the initial horizontal position is defined as use Euler's methods with to compute the jumper's position over the first s
c Develop plots of versus and versus Use the plot to graphically estimate when and where the jumper would hit the ground if the chute failed to open.
d At what angle would the parachutist be traveling in the last whole second before impact?
Requirements for answers
Write the differential equations for xyvx and vy ;
Write the numerical difference equations for xyvx and vy based on the Euler's method
Solve for xyvx and vy analytically and numerically with an initial step size of s and
plot the results vs time t in the graphs in separate graphs: x only, y only, vx only and vy only
Solve for the angle of the traveling when the parachutist hits the ground.
Change the time step to a half of the initial time step size and recalculate numerically and
plot the results in the same graph in ;
Discuss the difference and changes in the results when using different time step size.
Calculate the error of the numerical results by comparing the numerical results with the
analytical results and analyze the effect of the step size on the error
