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.

What is the weight of a 8-kg substance in N, kN, kg·m/s2, kgf, lbm·ft/s2, and lbf?

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

$W = 78.48N\\W =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\$

$W= 3.6lbf\\W= 115.2 lbm*ft/s2$

Explanation:

$m=8kg=3.6lb\\$

and g=9.81 m/s2=32.16 ft/s2

and

W=m*g

we can just replace de mass and gravity and we have

$W = 8kg * 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} } =78.48N\\W = \frac{78.48N}{1000} =0.0784kN\\W = 8kgf\\$

$W= 3.6lbf\\W= 3.6lbm *32.16 ft/s2 =115.2 lbm*ft/s2$

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. Suppose at f

Airida [17]

Answer:

c. The steady-state value of the current depends on the resistance of the resistor.

Explanation:

Since all the components are connected in series, when the switch is at first open, current will not flow round the circuit. As current needs to flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery.

But the moment the switch is closed, at the initial time t = 0, the current flow through from the positive terminal of the battery through the resistor, inductor, and switch to the negative terminal of the battery. It then begins to increase at a rate that depends upon the value of the inductance of the inductor.

Three charges, each of magnitude 10 nC, are at separate corners of a square of edge length 3 cm. The two charges at opposite cor

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The force exerted by three charges on the fourth is $F_{resultant}=2.74\times10^{-5}\ \rm N$

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of three identical charges, $q=10\ \rm nC$
Length of the edge of the square a=3 cm
Magnitude of fourth charge ,Q=3 nC

According to coulombs Law the force F between any two charge particles is given by

$F=\dfrac{kQq}{r^2}$

where r is the radial distance between them.

Since the force acting on the charge particle will be in different directions so according to triangle law of vector addition

$F_{resultant}=\sqrt ((\dfrac{kQq}{L^2})^2+(\dfrac{kQq}{L^2} })^2)+\dfrac{kQq}{(\sqrt{2}L)^2}\\F_{resultant}=\dfrac{kQq}{L^2}(\sqrt{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\F_{resultant}=\dfrac{9\times10^9\times10\times10^{-10}\times3\times10^{-9}}{0.03^2}(\sqrt{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\\F_{resultant}=2.74\times 10^{-5}\ \rm N$
