Answer:

539N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of person = 66kg

Mass of parachute = 4kg

Downward acceleration = 2.1 m/s²

The total force acting on the system is the sum of the force of gravity and the force due to air acting opposite gravity:

F = mg - F(a)

Where g = acceleration due to gravity

Force is given as:

F = ma

=> ma = mg - F(a)

=> F(a) = mg - ma

F(a) = m(g - a)

m is the mass of the entire sustem

m = 66 + 4 = 70kg

=> F(a) = 70(9.8 - 2.1)

F(a) = 70 * 7.7

F(a) = 539N

The upward force on the open parachute from the air is 539N

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

What is a law in physics? state the criteria for a statement to be a law.​
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

By nature, laws of Physics are stated facts which have been deduced and derived based on empirical observations. Simply put, the world around us works in a certain way, and physical laws are a way of classifying that “working.”
