While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
False, according to Boyle's law it's pressure increases, volume decreases
If the object is moving in a straight line at a constant speed, then that's
the definition of zero acceleration. It can only happen when the sum of
all forces (the 'net' force) on the object is zero.
And it doesn't matter what the object's mass is. That argument is true
for specks of dust, battleships, rocks, stars, rock-stars, planets, and
everything in between.
The statement “When
an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is
curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on
the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.
Answer:
1.21
Explanation:
Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.
Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁
Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body
Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂
Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))
Equating both:
15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3
⇒ c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21
