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.

Does displacement must be straight and must include direction
Solnce55 [7]
Displacement is the total space between point a and b. For example, If I walk 3 times North, 6 times East, and 7 times North, what is the displacement? The answer is 10 because when I walked East there was on object blocking my way.

If 3.61 m3 of a gas initially at STP is placed under a pressure of 2.67 atm , the temperature of the gas rises to 37.9 ∘C. What
Pavel [41]

Answer: 1.54m^3

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas at STP = 1 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 2.67 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 3.61m^3

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas at STP = 0^oC=273+0=273K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 37.9^oC=273+37.9=310.9K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{1atm\times 3.61m^3}{273K}=\frac{2.67\times V_2}{310.9K}

V_2=1.54m^3

Thus the final volume will be 1.54m^3

An observation which is descriptive is considered quantitative, creative, qualitive
Vesnalui [34]
A descriptive observation may very well be a mixture of both quantitative and qualitative as it can utilize elements of both types. Qualitative deals with the kinds of observations that cannot be measured in numerical form. Quantitative data is just that.
