The highest freefall jump on record is from a height of almost 38,000 m. At this height, the acceleration of gravity is slightly

weaker than the accelera
of gravity on the surface of Earth. Although the skydiver used a parachute to slow himself down below a certain altitude, how would the increasing
acceleration impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered?

Increasing his acceleration will impact his velocity and rate of displacement covered in that as the speed increases due to the increased rate of acceleration, the rate of air resistance also increases.  

<h3>What is air resistance?</h3>

Air resistance is a force created by air. When an item moves through the air, the force operates in the opposite direction.

When a diver descends, the force of air resistance acts to counteract the force of gravity. As the skydiver falls faster and faster, the quantity of air resistance grows until it equals the magnitude of gravity's force.

A balance of forces is achieved when the force of gravity equals the force of air resistance, and the skydiver no longer accelerates. The skydiver reaches what is known as terminal velocity.

Answer:

1. Lateral inversion is a phenomenon in which left appears to be right and vice versa. It is due to direction that light follows when it strikes a reflecting surface, generally a mirror.

Which of the following is a hypothesis?
inna [77]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Hypothesis is one of the science methods. Hypothesis is the same as guessing. It's a scientific method that precedes observations.

According to the question asking that Which of the following is a hypothesis ?

The correct option is C which is

If a squid is attacked by a predator, it will squirt ink

It is an hypothesis because there is no experimental evidence to back it up.

3. What is the main difference between a physical change and a chemical
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B and D could both be right as they are quit similar.

Consider two rods of the same length and diameter,

Increasing the diameter of one would change the expansion qualities of that rod even though there would be no chemical changes,

However, leaving the physical appearance of both rods the same while applying a reactive substance (acid or something) to one of the rods would not necessarily change the physical appearance of that rod but could make a considerable change in the  physical properties of that rod.

A +71 nC charge is positioned 1.9 m from a +42 nC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the midpoint of these c
viva [34]

Answer:

The net Electric field at the mid point is 289.19 N/C

Given:

Q = + 71 nC = 71\times 10^{- 9} C

Q' = + 42 nC = 42\times 10^{- 9} C

Separation distance, d = 1.9 m

Solution:

To find the magnitude of electric field at the mid point,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q is given by:

\vec{E} = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E} = \frac{71\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E} = 708.03 N/C

Now,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q' is given by:

\vec{E'} = \frac{Q'}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E'} = \frac{42\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E'} = 418.84 N/C

Now,

The net Electric field is given by:

\vec{E_{net}} = \vec{E} - \vec{E'}

\vec{E_{net}} = 708.03 - 418.84 = 289.19 N/C
