It is gravity. As a sky diver falls (ignoring air resistance for now) he increases in acceleration due to gravity, or 9.81m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). Inertia is, by definition, <span>a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force (credit to Google). However, if the sky diver has some kind of webbing on his suit, a drag force opposite to gravitational weight cancels it, and it moves at a constant drag velocity.

Sorry I got carried away... physicist...

It is gravity. Hope this helps!</span>

Explanation :

When an object moves under the action of gravity. Then the object is said to be moving under free fall.

We know that the acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g and it is equal to 9.8\ m/s^2.

If the body is accelerating towards the gravity the value of g is positive while when it is accelerating against the gravity it is negative.

As the skydiver falls to Earth, she experiences positive acceleration due to gravity.

So, the correct option is (a) gravity.

Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro
Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c

Which property does not apply to a motor? A. It uses an electromagnet. B. The direction of current changes twice during the rota
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:  

     

Explanation:

A motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. A current carrying coil is placed between electromagnets. A magnetic force is exerted on the coil which makes it rotate. The direction of current changes twice during the rotation of the coil. An outside source of electric current is used.

Thus, the wrong statement is D. It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It is the generator which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
