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...

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.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Feel free to ask more questions.  
<span><span>The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is  </span>B.-2.71 V.</span>  
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- -> Mg(s) E=-2.37 V  

Cu2+(aq) + 2e- -> Cu(s) E =+ 0.34 V  

Since Cu is acting as the anode, the equation needs to be reversed.  

Cu(s) -> Cu2+(aq) + 2e- E =- 0.34 V  

Ecell= -2.37 V+ (- 0.34 V) = -2.71 V   <span><span>

Joanna wants to determine the speed of sound in xenon. When she plays a tone with a frequency of 440 Hz, the resulting sound wav
iVinArrow [24]

The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by a body to the total time taken.

To calculate the speed of the sound in the xenon, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • v = λf............. Equation 1

Where:

  • v = Speed of the sound in xenon
  • f = Frequency
  • λ = Wavelength.

From the question,

Given:

  • f = 440 Hz
  • λ = 40.4 cm = 0.404 m

Substitute the values above into equation 1

  • v = 440(0.404)
  • v = 177.76 m/s.
  • v ≈ 178 m/s

Hence, The speed of the sound in the xenon is 178 m/s. And the right option is b 178 m/s

How does inertia affect someone who isn't wearing a seatbelt
Paul [167]
Basically, when someone is resting in an accelerated vehicle without restraint from a seatbelt, the force of stopping the vehicle will be when inertia occurs, and that force of the vehicle coming to a stop will affect the passenger (without a seatbelt/restraint from another force or object) greatly by throwing them.
For example;
If I were to be riding in a vehicle (without a seatbelt) that's accelerating at 40 m/s^2 and it suddenly gets slammed on the breaks, I will be thrown forward from inside the vehicle.

I hope this helps!
