The graph shows how the vertical velocity of a parachutist changes from the moment the parachutist jumps from the aircraft until

landing on the ground. Using the idea of forces, explain why the parachutist reaches a terminal velocity and why opening the parachute reduces the terminal velocity.

A woman throws a baseball straight up into the air. what is the baseball's acceleration at its highest point?
AleksandrR [38]
After the ball leaves the woman's hand, the only relevant force acting on the ball is the gravity, which produces an acceleration of a=g=9.81 m/s^2 on the baseball, directed downward. 
Gravity acts on the ball for the whole duration of the motion, so the acceleration of the ball is g=9.81 m/s^2 at every point of the motion, and therefore also when the baseball is at its highest point.

delivery ladies is Shivam noted at the thundering sound of 6 second after the lightning was seen by him​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

this is due to difference in speeds of sound and light

Explanation:

light has a speed of 3×10^8 m/s and it is seen at once because it takes negligible time due to very high speed and short distance  that is why as soon as lightning occurs we can see it . since thundering sound travels with speed of sound which is about 330  to 340 m/s in air hence it takes some time as described in question as 6 seconds
