Answer:

497.6 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The net force on the skydiver = weight of the skydiver- the resistive force of air

F' = W-F...................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the skydiver, F = resistive force of air.

But,

W = mg................ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the skydiver, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F' = mg-F............ Equation 3

Given: m = 87 kg, F = 355 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

F' = 87(9.8)-355

F' = 852.6-355

F' = 487.6 N

Answer:

Explanation:

The inclined plane

An inclined plane consists of a sloping surface; it is used for raising heavy bodies. The plane offers a mechanical advantage in that the force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised (discounting friction). The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight. Expressed mathematically, the force F required to move a block D up an inclined plane without friction is equal to its weight W times the sine of the angle the inclined plane makes with the horizontal (θ). The equation is F = W sin θ.

The lever

A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called a fulcrum. A downward force exerted on one end of the lever can be transferred and increased in an upward direction at the other end, allowing a small force to lift a heavy weight.

The wedge

A wedge is an object that tapers to a thin edge. Pushing the wedge in one direction creates a force in a sideways direction. It is usually made of metal or wood and is used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as in securing a hammer head onto its handle.

The wheel and axle

A wheel and axle is made up of a circular frame (the wheel) that revolves on a shaft or rod (the axle). In its earliest form it was probably used for raising weights or water buckets from wells.

Its principle of operation is best explained by way of a device with a large gear and a small gear attached to the same shaft. The tendency of a force, F, applied at the radius R on the large gear to turn the shaft is sufficient to overcome the larger force W at the radius r on the small gear. The force amplification, or mechanical advantage, is equal to the ratio of the two forces (W:F) and also equal to the ratio of the radii of the two gears (R:r)

What would happen to the moon if there was no sun and earth ?
iragen [17]

Answer:

High tides would be much smaller than they are now, and low tides would be even lower. This is because the sun would be influencing the tides, not the moon; however, the sun has a weaker pull, which would decrease the tides. ... Winds could become much faster and much stronger without the moon.
