Answer:

There is an arrow up for air resistance and an arrow down for gravity. The arrow up is longer than the arrow down.

Explanation:

The text of the problem says that the skydiver is slowing down: this means that he has an acceleration, which is directed opposite to the motion of the skydiver. Since the motion is downward, the acceleration must be upward.

There are two forces acting on the skydiver: the gravity (downward) and the air resistance (upward). According to Newton's second law:

F=ma

the acceleration has the same direction of the net force, so the net force must also be upward: therefore, the air resistance must be greater than the gravity, so the arrow up for air resistance is longer than the arrow down for gravity.

Whenever an object is falling, its potential energy
is decreasing and its kinetic energy is increasing.

Olivia's potential energy is decreasing and her kinetic energy
is increasing as she moves toward the right side of the picture,
all the way from W, through X, to the bottom of the arc.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The sound level of the 26 geese is  Z_{26}= 96.15 dB

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  sound level is Z_1 =  81.0 \ dB

     The number of geese is N = 26

Generally the intensity level of sound is mathematically represented as

        The intensity of sound level in dB  for one  goose is mathematically represented as

                       Z_1 = 10 log [\frac{I}{I_O} ]

Where I_o is the  threshold level of intensity with value  I_o = 1*10^{-12} \  W/m^2

            I is the intensity for one goose in W/m^2

For 26 geese the intensity would be  

          I_{26} = 26 * I

   Then  the intensity of 26 geese in dB is  

              Z_{26} = 10 log[\frac{26 I }{I_o} ]

               Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26 *  [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )

               Z_{26} = 10 log (\ \ 26  \ \ ) *   (\ \  10 log [\frac{ I }{I_o} ]\ \ )

 From the law of logarithm we have that

              Z_{26} = 10 log 26 +  10 log [\frac{I}{I_0} ]

                    = 14.15 + 82

                    Z_{26}= 96.15 dB
