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.

If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20 m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder
kakasveta [241]

Question:

A 63.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 4.20m/s square. What is the net external force on him? If the sprinter from the previous problem accelerates at that rate for 20m, and then maintains that velocity for the remainder for the 100-m dash, what will be his time for the race?

Answer:

Time for the race will be t = 9.26 s

Explanation:

Given data:

As the sprinter starts the race so initial velocity = v₁ = 0

Distance = s₁ = 20 m

Acceleration = a = 4.20 ms⁻²

Distance = s₂ = 100 m

We first need to find the final velocity (v₂) of sprinter at the end of the first 20 meters.

Using 3rd equation of motion

(v₂)² - (v₁)² = 2as₁ = 2(4.2)(20)

v₂ = 12.96 ms⁻¹

Time for 20 m distance = t₁ = (v₂ - v ₁)/a

t₁ = 12.96/4.2 = 3.09 s

He ran the rest of the race at this velocity (12.96 m/s). Since has had already covered 20 meters, he has to cover 80 meters more to complete the 100 meter dash. So the time required to cover the 80 meters will be

Time for 100 m distance = t₂ = s₂/v₂

t₂ = 80/12.96 = 6.17 s

Total time = T = t₁ + t₂ = 3.09 + 6.17 = 9.26 s

T = 9.26 s

How dose an atom change if all of its electrons are removed
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The atom becomes a positively charged ion.

Explanation:

  1. The building blocks of an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  2. The protons and neutrons present in the core of the atom are called nucleus.
  3. The electrons are scattered in an ordered way around the nucleus.
  4. The protons are positively charged and the electrons are negatively charged particles. The neutrons do not possess any charges.
  5. Binding energy is supplied to the atom to remove an electron.
  6. It is possible to remove the electrons of the lighter elements.
  7. When an electron is removed from the hydrogen atom. It becomes positively charged ion or simply proton.
  8. When all of the electrons are removed from the helium atom, it becomes a positively charged α particle.
  9. It is practically very difficult to remove all of the electrons from the heavier elements.
  10. When all of the electrons are removed from an atom it becomes an unstable positively charged ion.

A student states, "The wave model is better than the particle model for electromagnetic radiation because it is easier to unders
Kobotan [32]

The student's claim did not follow the scientific method of discovery, hence, it is an opinion not a scientific claim.

<h3>What is the scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is a procedure employed by scientific towards understanding the world around them as well giving explanation for phenomena in the natural world.

The scientific method involves:

  • observations
  • asking questions
  • putting forward a hypothesis
  • testing the hypothesis through experiments
  • analyzing results of the experiments and drawing conclusions
  • establishing a theory.

Since the student in question just put forward an opinion without testing it out using the scientific method, the statement is not a scientific claim.
