Answer:
<em>Before the parachute opens: Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.</em>
<em>Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.</em>

Answer:
Paleontologists have argued for a long time that the demise of the dinosaurs was caused by climatic alterations associated with slow changes in the positions of continents and seas resulting from plate tectonics. Off and on throughout the Cretaceous (the last period of the Mesozoic era, during which dinosaurs flourished), large shallow seas covered extensive areas of the continents. Data from diverse sources, including geochemical evidence preserved in seafloor sediments, indicate that the Late Cretaceous climate was milder than today's. The days were not too hot, nor the nights too cold. The summers were not too warm, nor the winters too frigid. The shallow seas on the continents probably buffered the temperature of the nearby air, keeping it relatively constant.
I believe the answer is b) slowly heating the surface
Answer:
229,098.96 J
Explanation:
mass of water (m) = 456 g = 0.456 kg
initial temperature (T) = 25 degrees
final temperature (t) = - 10 degrees
specific heat of ice = 2090 J/kg
latent heat of fusion =33.5 x 10^(4) J/kg
specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg
for the water to be converted to ice it must undergo three stages:
- the water must cool from 25 degrees to 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of water x change in temp
Q = 0.456 x 4186 x (25 - (-10)) = 66808.56 J
- the water must freeze at 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of fusion x change in temp
Q = 0.456 x 33.5 x 10^(4) = 152760 J
- the water must cool further to -10 degrees from 0 degrees, and the heat removed would be Q = m x specific heat of ice x change in temp
Q = 0.456 x 2090 x (0 - (-10)) = 9530.4 J
The quantity of heat removed from all three stages would be added to get the total heat removed.
Q total = 66,808.56 + 152,760 + 9,530.4 = 229,098.96 J
SI will always be in metric, so the answer is D. Meter.
