How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?

Physics

when skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which push against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

A box of books has _______inertia than a box of cotton balls.
White raven [17]

Talking about a quantity of inertia is exactly the same as talking about a quantity of mass.  So, if the boxes are anywhere near the same size, then the box of books has <u><em>more</em></u> inertia than the box of cotton balls, because books have more mass than an identical volume of cotton.

Zigmanuir [339]
36 \frac{mi}{gal} * \frac{1 km}{0.6214 mi}* \frac{1 gal}{3.78 L} = 15.3 \frac{km}{L}&#10;&#10;142/15.3=9.27L

How does an atom change if all of its electrons are removed?
Alex
<span>The atom becomes positively charged.

When you add electrons to a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom, it has a negative change and is an anion. When you take away electrons from a neutral atom, it is no longer a neutral atom- it becomes a positive atom, and is a cation.</span>
