Answer:

\large \boxed{\mathrm{B. \ Gravity \ and \ air \ resistance}}

Explanation:

Gravity and air resistance are the forces that get balanced out during a free fall. This is also known as terminal velocity, when gravity = air resistance.

Answer:

B. Gravity and air resistance

Explanation:

Experimentation has proven that :

When the parachute opens, air resistance becomes much greater than gravity. The forces are no longer balanced and this changes the

speed

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

There are competitions in which pilots fly small planes low over the ground and drop weights, trying to hit a target. A pilot fl

Answer:

Also 3s.

Explanation:

Each component is independent in two dimensional motion. This means that <em>how much time does something take to reach the ground when dropped is independent from any horizontal velocity</em>. If at one run a drop lasts 3s, at another run with twice the (horizontal) velocity and same height will also last 3s, no matter what.

How does the saturation of a solution affect crystal formation? In your own words please
ryzh [129]

The term saturated solution is used in chemistry to define a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the solvent. It is understood that saturation of the solution has been achieved when any additional substance that is added results in a solid precipitate or is let off as a gas.
