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.

The initial velocity is 6.7 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the ball is a projectile motion, therefore it consists of two independent motions:  

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction  

- A uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the downward direction  

In this problem, we just need to analyze the horizontal motion: the horizontal velocity is constant, therefore the horizontal distance travelled is given by

x=v_x t

where

v_x is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

Here we have:

t = 0.45 s

x = 3.0 m

And so solving for v_x, we find

v_x = \frac{3.0}{0.45}=6.7 m/s

And since the ball was initially projected horizontally, this is also the initial velocity.

What does NOT experience gravity?
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Astronauts who are orbiting the Earth often experience sensations of weightlessness. These sensations experienced by orbiting astronauts are the same sensations experienced by anyone who has been temporarily suspended above the seat on an amusement park ride. Not only are the sensations the same (for astronauts and roller coaster riders), but the causes of those sensations of weightlessness are also the same. Unfortunately however, many people have difficulty understanding the causes of weightlessness.

What changes into energy in the sun?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun's core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom. During the fusion process, radiant energy is released. :D

Answer: white shirt-reflect

top hat- reflect

elepahnt- i think absorb im quite sure

Explanation:

Reflection means that they are thrown back from a surface; absorption means that they are incorporated by a surface and transformed into heat energy. Different surfaces reflect and absorb differently. Different shirts with different colors will absorb light of different wavelength. Black shirt will absorb all colors of light while white shirt will reflect all colors of light. thats why on a hot day you wouldnt want to wear a black t shirt.
