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 .

What temperature resistivity of tungsten is 4 times resistivity of silver?

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Slightly above 20°c

Explanation:

The resistivity of silver is 1.59 x 10-8Ωm{ as discovered by experiment from scientist}

The resistivity of tungsten at 20°c is 5.6x10-8Ωm

We see the value is just an approximation of 4 times not exactly.
