Explanation:

They will have not much control over their speed or rotational energy. they will carry a lot of gravitation potential energy which will get converted to kinetic energy as they fall through the atmosphere. They will reach their terminal velocity, the fastest they can travel with earth's gravity before they pull their parachute, when they use a parachute to extend their surface area, increasing wind resistance. this allows them to land safely.

An object weighing 4 newtons swings on the end of a string as a simple pendulum. At the bottom of the swing, the tension in the
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

(B) 0.5 g

Explanation:

Newton's second law says ∑  F i = m a .

the rate of change in momentum of a body is proportional to the force applied on the body.

f∝ma

f=kma

were k is constant and equal to 1

The centripetal acceleration is an acceleration.

the tension on the swing and object weight goes to the left hand side while the centripetal acceleration goes to the right handside

At the bottom of the swing, ΣF = FT – mg = mac;

notice that the tension in the swing is 1.5 times the weight of the object

we can write

1.5mg – mg = mac,

0.5mg = mac

0.5 g=ac

A closed system’s internal energy changes by 178 J as a result of being heated with 658 J of energy.
statuscvo [17]
Internal energy of the system changes by ΔE = 178 J.
Heat given to the system = Q = +658 J.

According to the first law of thermodynamics, 
ΔE = Q + W
178 = 658 + W 
∴ W = 178-658 = -480 J

Minus sign indicates that work is done by the system.
