when skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which push against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
Answer:
372,400 N
Explanation:
The volume of the column is ...
V = Bh = (2 m^2)(19 m) = 38 m^3
If we assume the density is 1000 kg/m^3, then the mass of the water is ...
M = ρV = (1000 kg/m^3)(38 m^3) = 38,000 kg
The force of gravity on that mass is ...
F = Mg = (38,000 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = 372,400 N
Choice 'b' is one possible way to state
Newton's second law of motion.
The other choices are meaningless.
Basic solutions are hydroxides therefore the answer is A ca(OH)2
