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.

A loud sound is produced in the downtown section of a city. Which of the following is least likely to occur with the sound wave
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A. The sound wave will reflect off Buildings and automobiles.

Explanation:

This is because the sound waves would more likely propagate through diffraction through buildings and transmission through the air. It is also more likely to be absorbed by buildings than for multiple reflections to occur off buildings and automobiles. In the process of reflection, these materials would absorb the sound energy thereby reducing its ability to reflect.

Inserting the formulas you found for Xman(t) and Xbus(t) into the conditionXman(tcatch)=Xbus(tcatch) , you obtain the following-
lara [203]

Answer:

c > √(2ab)

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked to find the condition for c in such a way that the results have been real

The given equation is

              ½ a t² - c t + b = 0

we can see that this is a quadratic equation whose solution is

             t = [c ±√(c² - 4 (½ a) b)]  / 2

for the results to be real, the square root must be real, so the radicand must be greater than zero

              c² -2a b > 0

              c > √(2ab)
