Let his weight be mg.

For a falling body in a fluid.

W - V - U = ma.    Where
                             W = Weight = 800N.
                              m = mass
                             V = Viscous Force = Air Resistance.
                             U = upthrust = Negligible for air.
                             a = acceleration
                             g = acceleration due to gravity.
Note also at terminal velocity  a = zero.
 
W - V - 0 = m(0)
800 - V  = 0
800 = V. 

Therefore the viscous force which is equivalent to air resistance is also 800N.
Cheers.

We call "terminal velocity" the constant speed of a falling body
when it is no longer accelerating.

We know that if a body is not accelerating, then the net force
on it is zero.

From the question, we know that the downward force of gravity
on the skydiver is 800 N.

If the 800 N downward plus the air resistance upward add up
to zero, then the air resistance upward must also be 800 N.

Identify solar, wind, nuclear, and tidal power as nonrenewable or renewable energy
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Renewable energy: Tidal, solar and wind

Non renewable energy: nuclear power

Explanation:

Renewable energy is any energy in which its source is always replenished or renewed.

While non renewable energy sources cannot be replenished or renewed immediately because of its limited availability of resources.

Most renewable energy sources are natural sources.

Solar, tidal and wind energy are renewable energy known as clean energy. While nuclear energy is a non renewable energy in which its source of energy is fuel ( uranium e.t.c)

How does an object's position and velocity change as the object accelerates?”
taurus [48]

Answer:

aerodynamics

Explanation:

if an object like a car is going 200 mph at max speed and then the car gets aerodynamic or smoothed to the point that air can get by the car it could end up going another 20 mph faster

A computer monitor uses 200 W of power. How much energy does it use in 10 seconds?
gavmur [86]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is 0.556 Watts</u>

Explanation:

The computer monitor uses 200 Watts of power in an hour, that is the standard measure.

If we want to know, how much energy the computer monitor uses in one second, we will have to divide both sides of the equation into 3,600.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds (60 x 60)

Energy per second = 200/3600

Energy per second = 0.0556 Watts

Therefore to calculate how much energy is used in 10 seconds, we do this:

Energy per second x 10

<u>0.0556 x 10 = 0.556 Watts</u>

<u>The computer monitor uses 0.556 Watts in 10 seconds</u>

Inertia increases as an object's _________ increases.
sammy [17]

Answer:

A. Mass

Explanation:

Inertia of an object is the resistance of the object to any change in its state of motion: it means that if an object is at rest, it tends to stay at rest for inertia (unless a net force acts on it), and if it is moving, it tends to continue moving with the same velocity, for inertia.

The inertia also describes how difficult it is to stop/accelerate an object, and it is directly proportional to the mass of the object: in fact, the larger the mass of an object, the more difficult it is to change its state of motion, and this means it has greater inertia.

A block of mass m is pushed a horizontal distance D from position A to position B, along a horizontal plane with friction coeffi
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The total work done by friction is -2 · μ · m · g · D

Explanation:

Hi there!

The work done by a force is calculated as follows:

W = F · d · cos θ

Where:

W = work.

F = force that does the work.

d = displacement.

θ = angle between the displacement and the force.

If the force is horizontal, as in this case, cos θ = 1

The friction force is calculated as follows:

Ffr = μ · m · g

Where:

μ = friction coefficient.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Then, in this case, the work done by friction when pushing the block from A to B will be:

W AB = -Ffr · D

W AB = - μ · m · g · D

Notice that the friction force is negative because it is opposite to the pushing force P.

When the block is pushed from B to A, the work done by friction will be:

W BA = Ffr · (-D)

W BA = -μ · m · g · D

Now, the displacement is negative and the friction force is positive (in the opposite direction to -P).

The total work done by friction will be:

W AB + W BA = - μ · m · g · D  - μ · m · g · D  = -2 μ · m · g · D
