A woman falls to the ground while wearing a parachute. The air resistance on the parachute of the parachute is 500N. If the woma

scoundrel [369]

The gravitational force on the woman is A) 500 N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the woman during her fall:

The force of gravity, $F_G$ , acting downward
The air resistance, $F_D$ , acting upward

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the woman is equal to the product between the woman's mass and her acceleration:

$\sum F=ma$

where m is the mass of the woman and a her acceleration.

The net force can be written as

$\sum F = F_G - F_D$

Also, we know that the woman falls at a constant velocity (5 m/s), this means that her acceleration is zero:

$a=0$

Combining the equations together, we get:

$F_G-F_D = 0$

which means that the magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the magnitude of the air resistance:

$F_G=F_D=500 N$

The moon has a diameter of 3.48 x 106 m and is a distance of 3.85 x 108 m from the earth. The sun has a diameter of 1.39 x 109 m

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.00903 rad

0.00926 rad

6.268\times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

s = Diameter of the object

r = Distance between the Earth and the object

Angle subtended is given by

$\theta=\frac{s}{r}$

For the Moon

$\theta_m=\dfrac{3.48\times 10^6}{3.85\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \theta_m=0.00903\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Moon is 0.00903 rad

For the Sun

$\theta_s=\dfrac{1.39\times 10^9}{1.5\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_s=0.00926\ rad$

The angle subtended by the Sun is 0.00926 rad

Area ratio is given by

$\frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi r_m^2}{\pi r_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{d_m^2}{d_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{(3.48\times 10^{6})^2}{(1.39\times 10^9)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=6.268\times 10^{-6}$

The area ratio is $6.268\times 10^{-6}$

a student in your class says "electromagnetic waves can travel through outer space but mechanical waves can’t.” is it this stude

Kitty [74]

Answer:

Right

Explanation:

electromagnetic waves can travel through space (a vacuum) because it doesn't need a medium and its particles to propagate whereas a mechanical wave needs a medium to propagate. For example sound is a mechanical wave, sound vibrates off a mediums particles to propagate and for sound to be heard and travel
