At about 55 meters/sec, a falling parachuter (before the parachute opens) no longer accelerates. Air friction opposes accelerati

on. Although the affect of air friction begins gradually, imagine that the parachuter is free falling until terminal speed ( the constant falling speed) is reached. How long would that take?

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s².
That means that if air resistance is neglected, a falling body
smoothly gains 9.8 m/s of downward speed each second.

If our intrepid chutist lightly stepped out of the plane or was
gently pushed, so that his initial downward speed was zero
and grew by 9.8 m/s every second, then it took him ...

               (55) / (9.8)  =  5.6 seconds

to reach that particular downward speed.

Rutherford's gold-foil experiment led him to conclude that
erica [24]

Answer:

C. a dense region of positive charge existed somewhere in the atom.

Explanation:

Physicist Ernest Rutherford created the gold foil experiment in which he shot a beam of alpha particles at a sheet of gold foil, which then sent a  few of the particles flying after they were deflected. Based on the information gathered after completing this experiment, Rutherford concluded that a dense region of positive charge existed somewhere in the atom.

What is air masses? And 5 effect of it​
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and water vapor content. Air masses cover many hundreds or thousands of miles, and adapt to the characteristics of the surface below them. They are classified according to latitude and their continental or maritime source regions. Colder air masses are termed polar or arctic, while warmer air masses are deemed tropical. Continental and superior air masses are dry while maritime and monsoon air masses are moist. Weather fronts separate air masses with different density (temperature and/or moisture) characteristics. Once an air mass moves away from its source region, underlying vegetation and water bodies can quickly modify its character.When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.

Air masses can affect the weather because of different air masses that are different in temperature, density, and moisture. When two different air masses meet a front forms. This is one way air masses effect our weather.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

During the segments B - C and D - E, the car stopped since the y axis is the distance and the distance stayed the same in between those segments.

For a simpler answer, the flat horizontal lines on the graph are the times when the car was stopped.

What is true of the moon's orbital and rotational periods?
Eddi Din [679]
The moon's orbital and rotational periods are identical or the same, I<span>ts rate of spin is done in unison with its rate of revolution (the time that is needed to complete one orbit). Thus, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.</span>
