Answer:

two people if they have a similar area should reach zero acceleration at the same time.

Explanation:

Let's analyze what is the acceleration of each person using Newton's second law, before opening the parachute

    mg = ma   ⇒   a = g

Therefore, the two people have the same acceleration, we assume that the size (area) of the two is not very different, so the speed of the two people should be the same at all times.

Now let's analyze what happens when opening the parachute, this creates a force of resistance to the fall, which is proportional to the area of ​​the parachute , that is always much larger than the area of ​​people and the speed of the bodies,

     fr -mg = ma

As we can see the difference in acceleration in each person should be in the resistance force of the parachute, since from the previous part we saw that the speeds of the two people are equal and all the parachutes have the same area, the force of friction should be the same for both people, this force is increasing until the acceleration is zero and from there on we have the terminal speed.

In conclusion, from the above the two people if they have a similar area should reach zero acceleration at the same time.

How does the area of ​​0.3 m2 of iron change when heated from 20 ° C to 60 ° C?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

The quantitative relationship between heat transfer and temperature change contains all three factors: Q = mcΔT, where Q is the symbol for heat transfer, m is the mass of the substance, and ΔT is the change in temperature. The symbol c stands for specific heat and depends on the material and phase. The specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to change the temperature of 1.00 kg of mass by 1.00ºC. The specific heat c is a property of the substance; its SI unit is J/(kg ⋅ K) or J/(kg ⋅ ºC). Recall that the temperature change (ΔT) is the same in units of kelvin and degrees Celsius. If heat transfer is measured in kilocalories, then the unit of specific heat is kcal/(kg ⋅ ºC).

A roller coaster car speed is 4 m/s, but 3 seconds later its speed is 22 m/s. What is its average acceleration?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
The velocity increased from 4 m/s to 22 m/s in 3 seconds. 18 m/s in 3 seconds so the average acceleration is change in velocity divided by time. 18 m/s divided by 3 seconds = 6 m/s^2

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space
agasfer [191]
Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
