Answer:
Approximately (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is
.)
Explanation:
Assuming that the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be
(points downwards.)
Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.
Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:
.
Answer:
Stay the same
Explanation:
First of all, let's find how the capacitance of the capacitor changes.
Initially, it is given by
where
is the vacuum permittivity
A is the area of the plates
d is the separation between the plates
From the formula, we see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates. In this problem, the distance between the plates is doubled, so the capacitance will be halved:
The potential difference across the capacitor is given by
where
Q is the charge on the plates
C is the capacitance
We see that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. We said that the capacitance has halved: therefore, the potential difference across the two plates will double:
Now we can analyze the electric field between the plates of the capacitor, which is given by
we said that:
- The voltage has doubled: V' = 2 V
- The distance between the plates has doubled: d' = 2 d
therefore, the new electric field will be
So, the electric field is unchanged. And since the force on the particle at the center is directly proportional to the electric field:
F = qE
Then the force on the particle will stay the same.
