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

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.

Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=136.8μ m is shone at normal incidence through a thin film of thickness t resting atop a full
inn [45]

Answer:

1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

Explanation:

Given that:

The refractive index of the film = 19

The wavelength of the light = 136.8 μ m

The thickness can be calculated by using the formula shown below as:

Thickness=\frac {\lambda}{4\times n}

Where, n is the refractive index of the film

{\lambda} is the wavelength

So, thickness is:

Thickness=\frac {136.8\ \mu\ m}{4\times 19}

Thickness = 1.8 μ m

Since,

1 μ m = 10⁻⁸ Hm

So,

Thickness = 1.8 × 10⁻⁸ Hm

stepan [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Analytical people are less responsive to others. They hence tend to focus more on work than people and are less interested in leading, being happier to work by themselves. They may be prudent and systematic, making them good at analytic work.

Some character traits of Analytical people

Focuses on work and working more than people

Likes to be correct and will take time to ensure this

Thoughtful, careful fact-oriented and precise

Good at problem-solving

Likes organization and structure

Avoids working in a group, preferring to work alone

Can be over-critical and unresponsive

Cautious in decision-making

When stressed may withdraw or become headstrong
