Before answering this question, first we have to understand the effect of ratio of surface area to volume on the rate of diffusion.
The rate of diffusion for a body having larger surface area as compared to the ratio of surface area to volume will be more than a body having less surface area. Mathematically it can written as-
V∝ R [ where v is the rate of diffusion and r is the ratio of surface area to volume]
As per the question,the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere is given
The surface area to volume ratio for right circular cylinder is given
Hence, it is obvious that the ratio is more for right circular cylinder.As the rate diffusion is directly proportional to the surface area to volume ratio,hence rate of diffusion will be more for right circular cylinder.
Hence the correct option is B. The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
Answer:
Approximately (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is
.)
Explanation:
Assuming that the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be
(points downwards.)
Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.
Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:
.
