Answer:

a = g = 9.81[m/s^2]

Explanation:

This problem can be solve using the second law of Newton.

We know that the forces acting over the skydiver are only his weight, and it is equal to the product of the mass by the acceleration.

m*g = m*a

where:

g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

Note: If the skydiver will be under air resistance forces his acceleration will be different.

What best describes the dropping height of a ball that bounced back up to a height of 45 centimeters?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:C:Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy

Less than 45 centimeters, as the ball transforms some of its potential energy into thermal energy and sound energy.

Although the initial energy (potential energy is preserved), the energy of deformation as the ball strikes a surface creates energy dissipation in the form of frictional heat and audible sound energy.

Every time the ball bounces, its height will be less than its previous height.

___ acceleration occurs when an object speeds up
AleksandrR [38]

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.

When there is an increment or increase in the magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as positive acceleration.

Whereas when there is a decrease in magnitude of velocity of a moving body then it is known as negative acceleration.

Thus, we can conclude that positive acceleration occurs when an object speeds up.

  • Mass=0.25kg
  • Force=8N

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies F=ma

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies Acceleration=\dfrac{F}{m}

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies Acceleration=\dfrac{8}{0.25}

\\ \sf{:}\!\implies Acceleration=32m/s^2

A sample of gas has a volume of 215 cm3 at 23.5 °c and 84.6 kpa. what volume (cm3 will the gas occupy at stp
Dafna11 [192]
The answer is 165.3 cm³.

P1 * V1 / T1 = P2 * V2 / T2

The initial sample:
P1 = 84.6 kPa
V1 = 215 cm³
T1 = 23.5°C = 23.5 + 273 K = 296.5 K

At STP:
P2 = 101.3 kPa
V2 = ?
T2 = 273 K

Therefore:
84.6 * 215 / 296.5 = 101.3 * V2 / 273
61.34 = 101.3 * V2 / 273
V2 = 61.34 * 273 / 101.3
V2 = 165.3 cm³
