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 is your REASONING for this CLAIM? EXPLAIN WHY your claim is true.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

IV: speed of the fan

DV: time of cup ascent

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion. As the speed of the fan increases, so does the kinetic energy, then it transfers energy to the Cup ascent.

A 10 kg bear is running to the right at 10 m/s. He crashes into another 10 kg bear running to the left at -5 m/s. They collide a
faust18 [17]

Answer:

<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of  

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(10)(10)+(10)(-50)=50\ kg.m/s

When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is

p'=(20)(2.5)=50 \ kg.m/s

We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved
