A parachute increases air friction, thus reducing falling speed.
Indeed, the air friction is roughly proportional to the surface of the object falling down; the parachute tremendously increases that surface.
The answer is the third one down. New evidence may contradict the old evidence of a certain theory.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
rope makes an angle of 
Mass of sled and snow is m
Normal Force 
applied Force is F
as Force is pulling in nature therefore normal reaction is given by

Also 


-------1
---------2
Squaring 1 & 2 and then adding


Substitute value of F in 1


Answer:
f.The period is independent of the suspended mass.
Explanation:
The period of a pendulum is given by

where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the acceleration due to gravity
From the formula, we see that:
1) the period of the pendulum depends only on its length, L, and it is proportional to the square root of the length
2) the period does not depend neither on the mass of the pendulum, nor on its amplitude of oscillation
So, the only correct statements are
f.The period is independent of the suspended mass.
Note: statement "e.The period is proportional to the length of the wire" is also wrong, because the period is NOT proportional to the length of the wire, but it is proportional to the square root of it.
The standard unit is KW/hr, = 1,000W/hr.
(85 + 60) = 145W.
You need to find its fraction of 1,000W., so (145/1000) = 0.145 KWH.
(0.145 x 10p) = 1.45p. per hr.
