Describe and explain the motion of a skydiver from leaving the aircraft to reaching terminal velocity

Initially, there is only one force acting on the skydiver, which is their weight. F=ma therefore mg=ma. The m's cancel and the skydiver falls with acceleration g. However as soon as they have a downwards ...

Explain quantitatively how an object can follow circular motion whilst on a ramp with no friction in the radial direction.

The important condition for circular motion is that there must be a constant force acting perpendicular to the motion of the object. In this case there will be a contact force acting on the object from th...

What is natural frequency and how is it associated with resonance?

When anything is hit it will vibrate at the same frequency regardless of the force that hits it. This frequency of un-damped oscillations is the natural frequency. And every object/system has its own set ...
