Answer:

Parachute exerts a force of 619.2 N upward

The net force is 86.4 N acting downward

Explanation:

As the gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2, the parachute help reduces the net acceleration to 1.2m/s. So it must exerted an upward acceleration on the skydiver of

9.8 - 1.2 = 8.6 m/s2

Since the skydiver mass is 72 kg, we can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the force that causes this acceleration of 8.6

F = ma = 8.6*72 = 619.2 N acting upward

The net force is also the product of net acceleration and mass

= 1.2 * 72 = 86.4 N acting downward

Bess [88]

Answer

i'm not 100% sure but 1764

Explanation:

Work done = gravitational potential energy

Gravitational potential energy = mass(kg) × height(m) × gravitational field strength(N/kg)

We can assume that the student is on earth so the gravitational field strength is 9.8N/kg

So work done = 60 × 3×9.8

=1764

(if you need help calculating power but if you do just divide your answer by 12 and you will get 147)

An apple falls from a tree and 2.5 seconds later hits the ground. How fast is the apple falling when it hits the ground? Neglect
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>9.8 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

<h2>Since the ball rises for 2.5 s, the time to fall is 2.5 s. The acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 everywhere, even when the velocity is zero at the top of the path. Although the velocity is zero at the top, it is changing at the rate of 9.8 m/s² downward.</h2>

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

Which two elements will most likely form an ionic bond? (Click on the periodic table icon to view these elements) krypton and li
netineya [11]

Answer:

Magnesium and Bromine

Explanation:

I just took the test, and Magnesium has 7 electrons and Bromine has 2 valance electrons making the transfer a lot easier. In the first choice, Krypton already has 8 valance electrons therefore it cannot transfer or accept any more which rules it out as a possible answer. Calcium has 2 valance electrons and Potassium has 1 meaning it couldn't make a full shell of 8 and cannot make a ionic bond. Iodine has 7 electrons as well as Chlorine which wouldn't be the answer because it would have more than 8 valance electrons.
