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.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

42.0×10² second²

Explanation:

Here, time is given in milisecond

(64800 ms)²

= 4199040000 ms²

The SI unit is seconds

1 second = 1000 milisecond

1\ milisecond=\frac{1}{1000}\ second

\\\Rightarrow 1\ milisecond^2=\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2

4199040000\ ms^2=4199040000\times \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2=4199.04\ second^2

42.0×10² second²

When is the magnitude of the acceleration of a mass on a spring at its maximum value?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

Explanation:

In mass-spring system, the velocity and the acceleration are in anti-phase, which means that when one of the two quantities is maximum, the other one is zero, and vice-versa.

In fact:

- When the displacement of the spring is zero (x=0), the velocity is maximum, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is zero, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be maximum, and so the velocity (v) is also maximum. On the cotnrary, acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=0, then the force is zero: F=0, and so the acceleration is zero as well.

- When the displacement of the spring is maximum, the velocity is zero, due to conservation of energy. In fact, as the displacement is maximum, the elastic potential energy of the system (given by \frac{1}{2}kx^2) is maximum, therefore the kinetic energy (given by \frac{1}{2}mv^2) must be zero, and so the velocity (v) is also zero. On the cotnrary, since acceleration (a) is directly proportional to the restoring force of the spring, given by

F=-kx

so we see that when x=maximum, then the force is maximum, and so the acceleration is maximum as well.

Based on this, the correct answer is

A. when the mass has a speed of zero

It consists of our Solar system. Also, it contains many stars and alot of dust and gases. Our milky way is a galaxy full of amazing stuff, many stars blow up and cause auroras in the sky. If you  go to watch the aurora borealis(northern lights) , its amazing and beautiful. The sky turns green and blue and the stars appear.
