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.

Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.

An object falls from rest on a high tower and takes 5.0 s to hit the ground. Calculate the object's position from the top of the
Lena [83]

Answer:

After 1 sec = 4.9 m

After 2 sec = 19.6 m

After 3 sec = 44.1 m

After 4 sec =  78.4 m

After 5 sec = 122.5 m

Explanation:

After 1 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=1 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(1) + (1/2)(9.8)(1²) = 4.9m

After 2 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=2 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(2) + (1/2)(9.8)(2²) = 19.6m

After 3 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=3 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(3) + (1/2)(9.8)(3²) = 44.1m

After 4 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=4 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(4) + (1/2)(9.8)(4²) = 78.4m

After 5 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=5 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(5) + (1/2)(9.8)(5²) = 122.5m

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

8.0 N

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the mass of a body and its acceleration. The S.I unit of Force is Newton (N).

Mathematically, Fore is expressed as

F = ma ........................... equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

and

I = mΔv

Δv = I/m ............................ Equation 2

Where I = impulse, m = mass, Δv = change in velocity

Given: I = 6.0 Newton-seconds, m = 0.1 kilogram.

Substituting into equation 2

Δv = 6.0/0.1

Δv = 60 m/s.

But

a = Δv/t

where t = time = 0.75 seconds.

a = 60/0.75

a = 80 m/s²

Substitute the values of a and m into equation 1.

F = 0.1(80)

F = 8.0 N.

Thus the average force produced = 8.0 N
