As soon as parachute of a falling soldier opens, how will the accleration change?

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The acceleration will become zero

Explanation:

When the parachute of a falling soldier is opened the wide surface area decreases his velocity. This also translates to the drag force acting on the fallen soldier

The acceleration will become zero when the velocity of the fallen soldier is constant. This principle is the reason the parachute is used for safety reasons .

A 2 N and an 8 N force pull on an object to the right and a 4 N force pulls on the same object to the left. If the object has a

Elden [556K]

Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]

Two objects of same material are travelling near you. Object A is a 1.9 kg mass traveling 8 m/s; object B is a 2 kg mass traveli

Alex73 [517]

To determine the object which could give the greatest impact we will apply the concept of momentum. The object that has the highest momentum will be the object that will impact the strongest. Our values are

Mass of Object A

$m_A=1.9 kg$

Velocity of object A

$v_A=8ms$

Mass of object B

$m_B=2 kg$

Velocity of object B

$v_B=5ms$

The general formula for momentum is the product between mass and velocity, then

$p = mv$

For each object we have then,

$p_A=m_Av_A=1.9 kg(8ms)=15.2kg \cdot m/s$

$p_B=m_Bv_B=2 kg(5ms)=10kg \cdot m/s$

Since the momentum of object A is greater than that of object B, then object A will make you feel force upon impact.

What does it mean if a paint sample "matches" a known sample from a vehicle? Does this indicate the same source? Why or why not?

Mandarinka [93]

It wouldn't indicate the same source if the paint was from a different place. If the paint was the same brand and color it would be but if not then no
