Answer:

Option b. is correct.

Explanation:

In the given question a parachutist is falling toward the ground .

Also, the downward force of gravity is exactly equal to the upward force of air resistance.

So, net force applied to the parachutist is equal to zero ( because both force acts in opposite direction ).

Now by first law of motion  :

An object will be in rest or in constant speed unless and until no external force is applied on it .

So, in the question the velocity of the parachutist is not changing with time.

Therefore, option b. is correct.

Hence, this is the required solution.

An ice cream maker has a refrigeration unit which can remove heat at 120 Js'. Liquid ice
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The amount of heat energy that must be removed from the mixture to cool it to its freezing point, of -16°C is 45,360 J

Explanation:

The given parameters for the refrigeration unit and the ice cream are;

The power of the refrigeration unit = 120 J/s

The mass of the liquid ice cream, m = 0.6 kg

The initial temperature of the liquid ice cream, T₁ = 20°C

The freezing point temperature of the ice cream, T₂ = -16°C

The specific heat capacity of the ice cream, c = 2,100 J/kg⁻¹·°C⁻¹

The amount of heat energy that must be removed from the mixture to cool it to its freezing point, ΔQ, is given as follows;

ΔQ = m × c × ΔT

Where;

ΔT = T₁ - T₂

∴ ΔQ = m × c × (T₁ - T₂)

Therefore, by substituting the known values, we have;

ΔQ = 0.6 × 2,100 × (20 - (-16)) = 45,360

The amount of heat energy that must be removed from the mixture to cool it to its freezing point, of -16°C = ΔQ = 45,360 J.
