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.

How do resistors in parallel affect the total resistance?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

They're going to increase the total resistance as R_{T} = \sum\limits_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{1}{R_i} \right)^{-1}

Explanation:

If the resistors are in parallel, the potential difference is the same for each resistor. But the total current is the sum of the currents that pass through each of the resistors. Then

I = I_1 + I_2 + ... + I_N

where

I_i = \frac{V_i}{R_i}

but

V_i = V_j = V for i,j= 1, 2,..., N

so

I = \frac{V}{R_1}+ \frac{V}{R_2} + ... + \frac{V}{R_N} = \left(\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_N}\right)V = \frac{V}{R_T}

where

R_T = \left(\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_N}\right)^{-1} =\sum\limits_{i=1}^N \left(\frac{1}{R_i} \right)^{-1}

Falls often cause injuries, so one of the significant aspects of falls is the displacement and motion of a body. It is defined a
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

We need, mass, gravity and height.

Explanation:

When a body falls freely from a height, its initial velocity is zero, but due to the height it has some potential energy at the top and the kinetic energy is zero.

As it falls, the potential energy is gradually converted in to the kinetic energy so that the total energy of the falling body is conserved.

At the time as the body strikes the ground, the entire potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy.

Potential energy is given by

U = m g h

where, m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height,

So, to get the kinetic energy we require mass, gravity and height of the body.
