The correct answer is:
<span>B.) At terminal velocity there is no net force
In fact, when the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity, his velocity does not change any more. It means that the acceleration acting on the parachutist is zero, and for Newton's second law, this means the net force acting on him is zero:
</span>
<span>because the acceleration is zero: a=0.
This also means that the two relevant forces acting on the parachutist (gravity, downward, and air resistance, upward) are balanced to produce a net force equal to zero.</span>

Answer:
It will take the plant days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.
Explanation:
From the question, the rate at which the species of the bamboo tree grows is 36 inches per day.
To determine how long it would take a plant 40 inches tall initially to grow at this rate (that is, 36 inches per day) to a height of 200 inches.
This means we will calculate the number of days it will take the plant to grow additional 160 inches ( 200 inches - 40 inches) at this rate.
Now,
If the plant grows 36 inches in 1 day
then it will grow 160 inches in x days
x = (160 inches × 1 day) / 36 inches
x = 160 / 36
x = days or 4.44 days
Hence, it will take the plant days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.
