While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.
Answer:
A 2.0 kg ball, A, is moving with a velocity of 5.00 m/s due west. It collides with a stationary ball, B, also with a mass of 2.0 kg. After the collision
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Usually the angle between the y axis and x axis is 90° and we know that for furthest travel the degree angle must be 45° with the horizontal, Mo must release the ball about halfway between straight ahead and straight up
The cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration exerted by an object is the measure of change in speed or velocity of that object with respect to time. So the initial and final velocities play a major role in determining the acceleration of the cyclist. As here the initial velocity of the cyclist is the speed at rest and that is given as 0 m/s. Then after 3 seconds, the velocity of the cyclist changes to 9 m/s.
Then acceleration = change in velocity/Time.
Acceleration = (9-0)/3=9/3=3 m/s².
So the cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 9 m/s in 3 seconds with an acceleration of 3 m/s².
