about 1/10th as great by bending your legs 

Time extended decreases acceleration value. 

solve using Newton's 2nd and Uniform Acceleration Laws. plug in values for descending. 

Vf = 0.0 m/s 

Vi = 10 m/s 

t = 1 s 

Acceleration is given by 

a = [Vf - Vi] / t 

a = [ (0.0 m/s) - (10 m/s) ] / (1 s) 

a = [ -10 m/s ] / (1 s) 

a = -10 m/s^2 

Solve the same thing, but with time 10x, so t = 10 s 

a = [ (0.0 m/s) - (10 m/s) ] / (10 s) 

a = [ -10 m/s ] / (10 s) 

a = -1 m/s^2 

Solve for first force and second force, using a mass of 100 kg 

F = m * a 

F = (100 kg) * (-10 m/s^2) 

F = -1,000 N 

F = (100 kg) * (-1 m/s^2) 

F = -100 N 

So divide long-force by short-force 

(-100 N) / (-1,000 N) = 0.1 (which is 1/10)

Describe the full water cycle
sergey [27]

The water cycle (hydro-logic cycle), explains the constant motion of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. The mass of water on Earth stays equally constant over time, although the severe portion of the water goes into the major reservoirs of ice, fresh water, saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables. The water moves from one reservoir to another, such as from river to ocean, or from the ocean to the atmosphere, by the physical processes of evaporation, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, surface runoff, and subsurface flow. In doing so, the water goes through different forms: liquid, solid (ice) and vapor.
