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 car with a mass of 2000 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second. The curve h
melisa1 [442]
In the given problem, we say various information's that are going to help us reach the ultimate answer to the question. Let us first write the information's that have been presented in front of us.
Mass of the car = 2000 kg
Velocity of the car = 25 m/s^2
Radius of the circle = 80 m
Now we already know the equation for calculating the centripetal force and that is
Centripetal Force = [mass * (velocity)^2]/Radius
                            = [2000 * (25)^2]/80
                            = (2000 * 625)/80
                            = 1250000/80
                            = 15625
So the centripetal force on the car is 15625 Newtons

Section of two thermometers are shown. The thermometer on the left is labeled A and the thermometer on the right is labeled B. T
jolli1 [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

As per question, the thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers and thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals but there is no small markings equally spaced in between the numbers. That means, thermometer B is measures temperature more accurately than thermometer A.

Hence, correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.
