Force of 500 N is acting on the parachutist.

Parachutist applies 500 N force in downward direction.

Answer:

300 N upward

Solution:

Parachutist feels air resistance of 800 N.

Thus, 800 N of force is acting in upward direction.

Total force acting on the parachutist is given by,

F_{net} = air resistance force - force of parachutist

F_{net} = 800-500

F_{net} = 300 N

Direction of force is in upward direction because the air resistance force is more than force of parachutist.

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by what multiplicative factor does the intensity change?
alina1380 [7]

If the distance to a point source of sound is doubled, by a multiplicative factor of 4, the intensity changes.

Intensity of sound is the sound which is perpendicular to sound wave propogation per unit area. It is dependent on the Surface of source sound.

Intensity is the Power per unit area. Its SI unit is Watt/m².

As we move away from a source of sound, the sound starts to diminish. This is due to the decreasing sound intensity with distance.

It can also be understood by the fact that on increasing distance, the Power radiated by the source spreads over a larger area. Hence, the Intensity decreases gradually.

Since, Intensity is proportional to the square of the distance.

Hence, on doubling the distance, Intensity reduces to one fourth of the initial intensity or reduces by a multiplicative factor of 4.

A positive charge, q1, of 5 µC is 3 × 10–2 m west of a positive charge, q2, of 2 µC. What is the magnitude and direction of the
belka [17]
We know, F = 1/4πε * q₁q₂ / r²
Here, q₁ = 5 * 10⁻⁶ C
q₂ = 2 * 10⁻⁶ C
r = 3 * 10⁻² m west

Substitute their values, 
F = (9 * 10⁹) (5 * 10⁻⁶) (2 * 10⁻⁶)  / (3 * 10⁻²)²

F = 100 N  [ East of positive charge ]

Hope this helps!
