Answer:
Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.
Answer:
500 watts
Explanation:
Recall that the definition of power is the amount of energy delivered per unit of time.
In our case, the energy delivered is potential energy which we can estimate as the product of the weight of the object times the distance it is lifted above ground:
200 N x 10 m = 2000 Nm
then the power is the quotient of this potential energy divided the time it took to lift the object to that position:
Power = 2000 / 4 Nm/s = 500 Nm/s = 500 watts
Answer:
25 cm²
Explanation:
Meters and centimeters are both the units for measuring length. The SI unit of measuring length is meters.
Area is the quantity which measures the cross-section occupied by the object.
Thus,
Given that = Area = 0.0025 m²
To convert into cm²
1 m = 100 cm
So, 1 m² = 10000 cm²
So,
<u>Area = 0.0025 × 10000 cm² = 25 cm²</u>
Answer:
If there was no air resistance
Explanation:
We know that free fall is a unique motion in which gravity only works on one object. Objects that are said to be free-falling do not experience a significant force of air resistance; They come under the sole effect of gravity. Under such conditions, all objects fall under the same acceleration, regardless of their mass.
