What should a free-body diagram look like for a skydiver who has opened his parachute and is now slowing down as he falls?

The last choice. Two arrows and the arrow up is shorter than the arrow down. Since the guy is falling and he’s opened his chute, he’s slowing down but he’s still falling meaning the force of gravity is stronger than the air resistance.

The answer is A. I just took the test on K12 and it was A.

A car covers 120 km in 3 hours calculate its speed in m/s

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

11.1 m/s

Explanation:

120 km = 120 x 1,000 = 120,000 m

3 hours = 3 x 60 x 60 = 3600 x 3 = 10,800 s

speed = 120,000 / 10,800

= 1200/108

= 11.1 m/s

How much force must be applied on a blade of length 4cm and thickness of 0.1mm to exert a pressure of 4000000pa?

Viktor [21]

Answer:

F= 403429 kpa

Explanation:

Pressure is the product of force and area

Mathematically,

P=F*A -------where F is force and A is area.

A= 40 *0.1 = 4mm² -----convert to m²

A= 4e⁻⁶ m²

P= 4000000 pa

F= P/A = 4000000/4e⁻⁶

F= 403428793.493 pa

F= 403429 kpa

figure 2 shows a charged ball of mass m = 1.0 g and charage q = -24*10^-8 c suspended by massless string in the presence of a un

Vlad [161]

Answer:

E = 307667 N/C

Explanation:

Since the object's mass is 1 g, then its weight in newtons is 0.001 * 9.8 = 0.0098 N.

This weight should have the same magnitude of the vertical component of the tension T of the string (T * cos(37)) so we can find the magnitude of the tension T via:

0.0098 N = T * cos(37)

then T = 0.0098/cos(37) N = 0.01227 N

Knowing the tension's magnitude, we can find its horizontal component:

T * sin(37) = 0.007384 N

and now we can obtain the value of the electric field since we know the charge of the ball to be: -2.4 * 10^(-8) C:

0.007384 N = E * 2.4 * 10^(-8) C

Then E = 0.007384/2.4 * 10^(-8) N/C

E = 307667 N/C

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este

Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: $823.5kg/m^3$

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate:

a) the density of the liquid;

b) the weight of the liquid."

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

$M=m_L + m_V$ (1)
