Answer:
Approximately
(assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is
.)
Explanation:
Assuming that
the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be
(points downwards.)
Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.
Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:
.
Answer:
265 J
Explanation:
where KE is kinetic energy, PE is potential energy, m is the mass of an object, v is the speed, h is the height and g is acceleration due to gravity.
Substituting 19.7 Kg for mass, 0.934 for h, 2.93 for v and 9.81 for g then

A heat pump is a device that puts out heat. It involves pumping a lever over and over to get energy so it can work.
