Answer:  C

Explanation:

The forces at play, are gravity (which is pointing down[g]) and air resistance(which is pointing up [R]). The net force is [F] is

F = g + (-R) if we choose down as +tive and up as -tive.

Since the skydiver IS falling, it means g is bigger than F, since gi si responsible for pulling down, and this then confirms that the net force will then be pointing downwards.

30 POINTS!!! CAN U AWNSER IT?? :)
solniwko [45]

Answer:

5235.84 kg

Explanation:

There is one theorem - whose proof I will never remember without having to drag calculus in there - that says that the variation of momentum is equal to the force applied times the time the application last.

F\Delta t = m \Delta v As long as the engine isn't ejecting mass - at this point it's a whole new can of worm - we know the force, we know the variation in speed, time to find the mass. But first, let's convert the variation of speed in meters per second. The ship gains 250 kmh, \Delta v = 69.4 m/s;

45 450 \cdot 8 = 69.4 m \rightarrow m = \frac{45450\cdot 8}{69.4} = 5235.84 kg

Question 9 please. How do you find instantaneous velocity and how do I sketch a velocity vs time graph from a position vs time o
pickupchik [31]

How do you find instantaneous velocity

Select a point on a distance-time curve graph. Draw a tangent to the curve at that point. Tangent -> hypotenuse of right angled triangle. Opp/adjacent in graph units is vel at that point -> in distance and/or time
