Answer:
The answer is (a.) An upward force balances the downward force gravity on the skydiver
The skydiver is falling at a constant velocity because the upward force is balancing the downward force of gravity. According to Newton, the opposite force balance each other. This is stated in Newton's second law of motion.
Answer:
Centripetal acceleration,

Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration:
Centripetal acceleration is the idea that any object moving in a circle, in something called circular motion, will have an acceleration vector pointed towards the center of that circle.
Centripetal means towards the center.
Examples of centripetal acceleration (acceleration pointing towards the center of rotation) include such situations as cars moving on the cicular part of the road.
An acceleration is a change in velocity.
Formula for Centripetal acceleration:

Given here,
Velocity = 4.5 m/s
radius = 7.7 m
To Find :

Solution:
We have,

Substituting given value in it we get

Centripetal acceleration,

Answer:
Magnetic field, B = 0.23 T
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of the copper rod, L = 0.49 m
Mass of the copper rod, m = 0.15 kg
Current in rod, I = 13 A (in +ve y direction)
When the rod is placed in magnetic field, the magnetic force is balanced by its weight such that :

So, the magnitude of the minimum magnetic field needed to levitate the rod is 0.23 T.
Answer:
Both
Explanation:
The lithosphere is part of both the crust and the mantle.
It is the surface layer of the earth and also the most rigid layer. It is formed by the crust and the outermost part of the mantle. It is divided into two types: continental lithosphere and oceanic lithosphere.
The oceanic lithosphere has an approximate thickness of 50 - 100km, and the continental olithosphere of 40 - 200km.
Answer:
Magnetism is a physical phenomenon that manifests itself in a force acting between magnets or other magnetized or magnetisable objects, and a force acting on moving electric charges, such as in current-carrying cables. The force action takes place by means of a magnetic field, which is generated by the objects themselves or otherwise. There are natural and artificial magnets. All magnets have two poles called the north pole and the south pole. The north pole of one magnet repels the north pole of another magnet and attracts the south pole of another magnet; the same with south poles.
