As a skydiver gains speed in falling through the air, air resistance _______.

Physics
1 answer:
Korolek [52]3 years ago

By writing kinematic equations you can find the answer.
 The acceleration is:
 a = g
 The speed is:
 v = a * t
 v = g * t
 Note that as time passes, speed increases.
 When increasing the speed, the resistance of the air is greater.
 answer:
 air resistance increases

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.
fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force N= mg cos 22

\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N

What happens to parallel light rays that strike a concave lens?
torisob [31]

Answer:

They diverge on refraction

Explanation:

When parallel light rays strike a concave lens, they will diverge that is they spread out .

Concave lens is also known as diverging lens, which means that when parallel rays of light strike on it, the lens spreads out the light rays ( that is it diverges the rays of light) that are refracted through it.

At the middle  of concave lens is thinner.  

When light is passes through the lens they diverge it or spread out.

The concave lens causes light rays to bend away or diverge from its axis since the concave lens is a diverging lens.
