The correct answer is:
<span>B.) At terminal velocity there is no net force 

In fact, when the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity, his velocity does not change any more. It means that the acceleration acting on the parachutist is zero, and for Newton's second law, this means the net force acting on him is zero:
</span>\sum F = ma = 0
<span>because the acceleration is zero: a=0. 
This also means that the two relevant forces acting on the parachutist (gravity, downward, and air resistance, upward) are balanced to produce a net force equal to zero.</span>

What us the formula of finding diameter
Over [174]

Answer:

The formula to find the diameter states the relationship between the diameter and the radius. The diameter is made up of two segments that are each a radius. Therefore, the formula is: Diameter = 2 * the measurement of the radius. You can abbreviate this formula as d=2r.

A 1.11 kg piece of aluminum at 78.3 c is put into a glass with 0.210 kg of water at 15.0
ValentinkaMS [17]

M = mass of aluminium = 1.11 kg

c_{a} = specific heat of aluminium = 900

T_{ai} = initial temperature of aluminium = 78.3 c

m = mass of water = 0.210 kg

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 4186

T_{wi} = initial temperature of water = 15 c

T = final equilibrium temperature = ?

using conservation of heat

Heat lost by aluminium = heat gained by water

M c_{a} (T_{ai} - T) = m c_{w} (T - T_{wi} )

(1.11) (900) (78.3 - T) = (0.210) (4186) (T - 15)

T = 48.7 c

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?<br>​
____ [38]

Answer:

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

<u>explanation</u><u>:</u>

{  =  \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \:  \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{0}_{  - 1}e }}

hence it's mass number is zero

{  =  \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \:  \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{4} _{2}He  }}

hence it's mass number is 4

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>proton</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>heavier</u><u> </u><u>than</u><u> </u><u>electron</u>

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton
