How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?

Physics

Wittaler [7]3 years ago

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force.  The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

Why is it not necessary for radio telescope surfaces to be as smooth as a mirror?
Law Incorporation [45]
It doesn't on account of radio waves are longer than optical waves. Radio waves are a sort of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic range longer than infrared light. These long waves are in the radio locale of the electromagnetic range.

In the data table , distance is measured in meters and time is in seconds. Calculate the mans average velocity using the equatio
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3.626 m/s

Explanation:

v=d/t

1. -0.02/0 = 0 m/s

2. 0.86/0.2 = 4.3 m/s

3. 1.71/0.4 = 4.275 m/s

4. 2.54/0.6 = 4.23 m/s

5. 3.32/0.8 = 4.15 m/s

6. 4.08/1.0 = 4.08 m/s

7. 4.79/1.2 = 3.99 m/s

8. 5.48/1.4 = 3.91 m/s

9. 6.15/1.6 = 3.84 m/s

10. 6.76/1.8 = 3.76 m/s

11. 7.37/2.0 = 3.66 m/s

12. 7.92/2.2 = 3.6 m/s

13. 8.45/2.4 = 3.52 m/s

14. 8.96/2.6 = 3.45 m/s

the mean of these numbers is 3.626

his average velocity ks 3.626 m/s
