Explanation :

When a skydiver prepares to jump out of the plane. Then two forces will acts i.e. the force of gravity and frictional force. Both forces act in the opposite direction.

When the person starts accelerating towards the earth, the gravitational force is stronger.

When he opens the parachute, the surface area increases and hence the resistive force increase. As a result, he or she attains the terminal velocity.

Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.

If two conductors are not touching but are close to each other, a large enough voltage will cause an _________________ to occur
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Electrical breakdown.

Explanation:

When two conductors are relatively close enough, and have a very large voltage between them, it can lead to a Dielectric breakdown. A dielectric breakdown occurs when an insulator is subjected to a high enough voltage, suddenly becomes an electrical conductor and electric current flows through it. The air between the conductors is the insulator that breaks down, leading to an electrical discharge arc to flow between the two conductors. This electrical breakdown can cause catastrophic failure of electrical equipment, and fire hazards.

A person travels by car from one city to another with differem constan1 speeds between pairs of cities. She drives for 30.0 min
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

a.52.9 km/h

b.90 km

Explanation:

We are given that

v_1=89km/h

t_1=30min

v_2=100km/h

t_2=12min

v_3=40km/h

t_3=45 min

Time spend on eating lunch and buying ga=15 min.

a.Total time=30+12+45+15=102 minute=\frac{102}{60}=1.7 hour

1 hour=60 minutes

Distance=speed\times time

d_1=v_1\times t_1=80\times\frac{30}{60}=40km

d_2=100\times \frac{12}{60}=20 km

d_3=40\times \frac{45}{60}=30 km

Total distance=d_1+d_2+d_3=40+20+30=90km

Average speed=\frac{total\;speed}{total\;time}

Using the formula

Average speed=\frac{90}{1.7}=52.9Km/h

b.Total distance between the initial and final city lies along the route=90 km
