Answer:

The magnitude of air = 392N

Explanation:

We use Newton's 2nd law. The sum of the vertical forces must be equal to zero because at terminal speed , the acceleration is zero. Solving for the air resistance force,F(air ) gives:

EFvertical = mg - F(air)= ma

F(air) = mg = 40 × 9.8 = 392N

Answer: 392N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that "The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object."

the sum of vertical forces has to be equal to zero because by the time the terminal speed has been attained, the acceleration is zero. Now, we solve for air resistance force.

summation of F(vertical) = mg - F(air) = ma

a = 0 m/s²

thus, F(air) = mg

F(air) = 40kg*9.8m/s²

F(air) = 392N

As more and more resistors are added in parallel to a circuit, the equivalent resistance of the circuit ____________ (increases,
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Decreases, Increases

Explanation:

Resistance is parallel can be calculated using

1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

Then, as more resistor is added in parallel the equivalent resistance is reduced.  

Let use a simple sample

Let all the resistor have equal resistances

Let say R = R1 = R2 = R3 =...Rn

Then, 1/Req = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +....

1/Req = 1/R + 1/R + 1/R +.... 1/Rn

Req = R/n

Check attachment on how I got that.

This implies that, the equivalent resistance will always be less than the original resistance, since n>1

So, as n increases (I.e. as the number of resistance increases), the equivalent resistance reduces.

B. Now, to know if the current reduces or increases

Using Ohms law

V = iR

Then, I = V/R

So, let assume the voltage is constant, then, the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, so as we know that the resistance is reducing, then the current will be increasing.

So current increase as we add more resistor in parallel to a circuit

How is a scientific theory different from a hypothesis?
Maslowich
A scientific theory is different from a hypothesis because a theory is a educated guess that is being worked on and proven correct and a hypothesis is a educated guess it is a guess that needs to be proven.
