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>

A low-luminosity star has a small and narrow ________, whereas a high-luminosity star has a large and wide one.
vova2212 [387]

A low-luminosity star has a small and narrow ​<u>habitable zone</u>, whereas a high-luminosity star has a large and wide one.

<h3>What is luminosity of a star?</h3>

The radiant power emitted by a light-emitting item over time is measured as luminosity, which is an absolute measure of radiated electromagnetic power (light).

The total quantity of electromagnetic energy released per unit of time by a star, galaxy, or other celestial object is referred to as luminosity in astronomy.

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m
