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.

The time constant of an RC circuit is 2.7 s. How much time t is required for the capacitor (uncharged initially) to gain 0.63 of

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

2.7s

Explanation:

The solution of time required is shown below:-

In the RC circuit condenser charge 63 percent of the full charge from initial time to constant time

Now, the

63% that is equal to 0.63 which is full equilibrium charge

Therefore, the time required to maintain will be Equal to time (t) constant that is 2.7s

So, the correct answer is 2.7s

Silver has a work function of 4.5 eV . Part A What is the longest wavelength of light that will release an electron from a silve

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

λ = 2.7608 x 10⁻⁷ m = 276.08 nm

Explanation:

The work function of a metallic surface is the minimum amount of photon energy required to release the photo-electrons from the surface of metal. The work function is given by the following formula:

Work Function = hc/λ

where,

Work Function = (4.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) = 7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = longest wavelength capable of releasing electron.

Therefore,

7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(7.2 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)
