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.

Contrast the average speed and the instantaneous speed of runner in a race.
ehidna [41]

Average speed of the runner is the rate at which the runner covers the total distance. Average speed of the runner in the race is given by,

Average speed = \frac{Total distance}{Total time}

Where

Total distance = Distance covered by the runner from initial to final position

Total time = time taken by the runner to cover entire distance

Instantaneous speed is the speed of the runner at the particular moment in the given time. Instantaneous speed is given by,

Instantaneous speed = \frac{dx}{dt}

x = position of the runner at time t

t = time taken to cover distance x

Hence, Average speed and instantaneous speed are different for a runner running in the race.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated. a) Contraction b) Expansion c) kinetic energy d) Volume
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

b) Expansion

Explanation:

In science, matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.

Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.

A physical change can be defined as a type of change that involves an increase or decrease in the volume of a physical object (object). Also, this change can be reversed to the original state under certain conditions.

The increase in volume of matter that occurs when matter is heated causes an expansion.

This ultimately implies that, when a physical object (matter) is heated for a specific period of time, it result in an increase in the volume of the object; this phenomenon is generally referred to as expansion.

On the other hand, a decrease in volume of a physical object (matter) as a result of heat is known as contraction.

Which of the following states of matter is always a good conductor of electricity? solid, liquid, gas, or plasma **:/ Thank you!
pogonyaev

Plasma...I believe is always a good conductor of electricity. I was tempted to say a solid, but not all solids are the same in composition and that goes for liquid and gas as well.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.
