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.

Which of these factors best explains why liquid water exists on earth ?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

earth strong gravity

Explanation:

The only planet that have water bodies is earth. We know that water is one of the important factors for all living organism. Liquid water exists on the earth's surface is due to the atmospheric pressure. The reason behind this is not completely mentioned.

There are so many hypothesis about it. Out of given options the correct option is earth's strong gravity.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " earth strong gravity ".
