What should a free-body diagram look like for a skydiver that is still speeding up as he falls?

<span>When you draw a free body diagram, you draw longer arrows
for stronger forces, and shorter arrows for weaker ones.

If the skydiver's falling speed is still increasing, you can tell that
the downward force of gravity acting on him is still greater than the
upward force of air resistance.

So on the diagram, there is a shorter arrow up for air resistance
and a longer arrow down for gravity.  (Choice #3)</span>

The Correct answer is There is an arrow up for air resistance and an arrow down for gravity. The arrow up is shorter than the arrow down..

I took the test and it said that answer was correct.

What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
OLEGan [10]
This can be seen as a trick question because heat engines can typically never be 100 percent efficient. This is due to the presence of inefficiencies such as friction and heat loss to the environment. Even the best heat engines can only go up to around 50% efficiency.

What are the two most common ways to produce hydrogen gas used in fuel cells?
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Steam-methane reforming

Electrolysis of water

Explanation:

Steam methane reforming involves reaction of methane with water in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel to form Carbon oxides and Hydrogen.

CH4 + H2O ⇌ CO + 3 H

Electrolysis of water involves splitting of water through application of electric current to give Hydrogen and Oxygen gas.

2 H2O(l) → 2 H2(g) + O2(g)

You are conducting an experiment inside an elevator that can move in a vertical shaft. A load is hung vertically from the ceilin
Ivan

Answer: The elevator must be accelerating.

Explanation:

As the tension force is opposing to the the force of gravity on the load which is hung vertically, and the tension force can adopt any value in order to comply with Newton's 2nd law, if the tension force is less than the force due to gravity, this means that all system is not in equilibrium, so it must be accelerating.

If we assume that the downward is the positive direction, we can write:

mg - T = ma

If T = 0.9 mg, ⇒ mg (1-0.9) =0.1 mg = m a ⇒a = 0.1 g , in downward direction.
