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.

Six artificial satellites complete one circular orbit around a space station in the same amount of time. Each satellite has mass
REY [17]

The satellites launch rockets to generate the force required to keep an orbit all around space station circular. The continuous centripetal force is maintained by the centripetal force.

<h3>What is a good illustration of gravity?</h3>

The energy holding the gases inside the sun. the power behind a ball's descent after being thrown into the air. the force that makes an automobile coast downward even when the gas is not depressed.

<h3>What makes anything gravitational?</h3>

Our term gravity and more specific derivation gravitation are derived from a Latin word gravity, from gravis, which itself is derived from a much older root word that is considered to have existed due to multiple cognates in closely related languages.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

f1 = 58.3Hz, f2 = 175Hz, f3 = 291.6Hz

Explanation:

lets assume speed of sound is 350 m/s.

frequencies of a standing wave modes of an open-close tube of length L

fm = m(v/4L)

where m is 1,3,5,7......

and fm = mf1

where f1 = fundamental frequency

so therefore: f1 = 350 x 4 / 1.5

f1 = 58.3Hz

f2 = 3 x 58.3

f2 = 175Hz

f3 = 5 x 58.3

f3 = 291.6Hz

Stars of spectral type A and F are considered ________.
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

<u>B. the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animal - like life.</u>

Explanation:

The appropriate spectral range for habitable stars is considered to be "late F" or "G", to "mid-K" or even late "A". <em>This corresponds to temperatures of a little more than 7,000 K down to a little less than 4,000 K</em> (6,700 °C to 3,700 °C); the Sun, a G2 star at 5,777 K, is well within these bounds. "Middle-class" stars (late A, late F, G , mid K )of this sort have a number of characteristics considered important to planetary habitability:

• They live at least a few billion years, allowing life a chance to evolve. <em>More luminous main-sequence stars of the "O", "B", and "A" classes usually live less than a billion years and in exceptional cases less than 10 million.</em>

• They emit enough high-frequency ultraviolet radiation to trigger important atmospheric dynamics such as ozone formation, but not so much that ionisation destroys incipient life.

• They emit sufficient radiation at wavelengths conducive to photosynthesis.

• Liquid water may exist on the surface of planets orbiting them at a distance that does not induce tidal locking.

<u><em>Thus , the stars of spectral type A and F are considered reasonably to have habitable planets but much less likely to have planets with complex plant - or animak - like life.</em></u>

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Kamila [148]

1. Answer: A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

A skydiver free falls under gravity but her rate of fall slows down due to drag -air resistance. when this air resistance becomes equal to her weight, the two get balanced and the body does not accelerate or decelerates.

2. Answer: Gravity

Contact forces are those which act when there is physical contact between two bodies. For example: normal force, tension and spring force.

Non-contact forces act between two bodies even when they are at a distance apart. For example: gravity, electric force, magnetic force etc.

3. Answer: The tendency of an object's motion to remain the same.

Inertia is a property of matter by virtue of which it tends to remain in its state of motion or rest. It does depend on mass of the object, more the mass, more is inertia. For example, cycle can be easily moved but we need real push hard for a car to move.

4. Answer: 254 N

The man pushes the box with 310 N force at an angle of  55 degrees to the horizontal.

we can write this in terms of horizontal (F cos \theta)and vertical component (F sin\theta).

Horizontal component: F_H=310 \times cos (55^o)= 178 N

Vertical component: F_v=310 \times sin (55^o)= 254 N

The vertical component would act towards the floor making the job more difficult to move the job.
