A child and parent parachute jump together. Assume that the parent is heavier than the child. The following questions will ask y

ou about different aspects of their trip down.
A. Before they open their parachutes, both the parent and the child fall with the same acceleration and velocity. How does the total force acting on the child compare to the total force acting on the parent? Explain your reasoning!
B. Once they open their parachutes, in addition to gravity they also feel the force of the parachute ropes pulling on them. Soon after their parachutes are opened, they are no longer accelerating or decelerating, but instead fall at a uniform velocity. What is the total force on the parent and the total force on the child during the time they are falling at a uniform velocity?
C. How does the force exerted by the parachute on the child compare to the force exerted by the parachute on the parent if they continue to fall together next to each other?

Answer:

A. Force on parent is greater than the force on child

B. The net force acting on the bodies is zero for each.

C.  the drag force on the parent is greater than the drag force on the child.

Explanation:

The child and the parent jump together form a certain height where the mass of the parent is greater than the mass of the child.

A

Before opening the parachute the drag force is negligible and so their velocity  and acceleration are same simultaneously. The total force acting on the child is lesser than the total force of gravity on the child because the force of gravity is given as:

F=m.g

where:

m= mass

g= acceleration due to gravity

So when the mass is greater then the force of gravity is also greater on the body.

B

During the uniform velocity motion there is no acceleration in the body and hence we can say the there is no net force acting on the body.

The net force acting on the body is zero.

C

The force of drag acts due to parachute on each of the body when falling with uniform motion, this drag force is equal to the force of gravity acting on each of them individually.

So the drag force on the heavier body is greater than the drag force on the lighter body. During this condition the bodies fall with a uniform velocity called terminal velocity.

m.g=\frac{1}{2}\rho.A.v^2.c_d

where:

\rho= density of the air

A= area normal to the direction of fall

v= terminal velocity

c_d= coefficient of drag

A restaurant records the number of tables served each night, and the results have the values: minimum = 3, lower quartile = 14,
dybincka [34]

To choose the correct box plot, verify each of the options and make sure all the values in the plot match the values provided.

<h3>How to identify the median?</h3>

In a box plot, this value is represented by a vertical line located in the middle of the graph.

<h3>How to identify the maximum and the minimum?</h3>

The maximum is the value located on the farthest right, while the minimum is located on the farthest left.

<h3>How to identify the quartiles?</h3>

Divide the graph into 4 and analyze how much each quartile represents.

The total electric flux from a cubical box 26.0 cm on a side is 1840 N m2/C. What charge is enclosed by the box?
vitfil [10]

The expression of the electric flux is

\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}

Here,

Q = Total charge enclosed in the closed surface

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity due to free space

Rearranging to find the charge,

Q = \epsilon_0 \Phi

Replacing with our values we have finally

Q = (8.85*10^{-12}F\cdot m^{-1})(1.84*10^3 N\cdot m^2/C)

Q = 1.6284*10^{-8} C (\frac{10^9nC}{1C})

Q = 0.1684nC

The charge enclosed by the box is 0.1684nC

The sign of the charge can be decided by using the direction of the flux. The charge enclosed by the cube can be calculated by using the electric flux and the permitivity of free space.

How much heat is required to heat 2 kg of water from 25°C to 40°C?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

126000 J

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cm(t₂-t₁).................. Equation 1

Where Q = Amount of heat, c = specifc heat capacity of water, m = mass of water, t₁ = Initial temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 2 kg, t₁ = 25°C, t₂ = 40°C

Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C

Substitute these value into equation 1

Q = 2×4200(40-25)

Q = 2×4200×15

Q = 126000 J

A car accelerates from zero to a speed of 110
Verizon [17]

The car's rate of  acceleration : a = 2.04 m/s²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

speed = 110 km/hr

time = 15 s

Required

The acceleration

Solution

110 km/hr⇒30.56 m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time

a = Δv : Δt

Input the value :

a = 30.56 m/s : 15 s

a = 2.04 m/s²
