Answer:

B. the acceleration of a skydiver depends upon the force of gravity and wind resistance

Explanation:

Newtons second law of motion states that: the force (F) acting upon an object is directly proportional to the mass (M) of the object and the acceleration (a).

Basically this law states that the acceleration of a body is dependent on the force and mass of the body. If the force exerted on the body changes the acceleration will also change. and if the mass of the body changes, the acceleration will also be affected

from the options, the only option that refers to acceleration is option B

An electron and a proton are both released from rest, midway between the plates of a charged parallel-plate capacitor. The only
topjm [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the potential difference between the middle point and one of the plate be ΔV .

electric potential energy will be lost and it will be converted into kinetic energy .

Electrical potential energy lost = Vq , where q is charge on charge particle .

For proton

ΔV× q = 1/2 M V² ( kinetic energy of proton )

where M is mass and V be final velocity of proton .

For electron

ΔV× q = 1/2 m v² ( kinetic energy of electron  )

where m is mass and v be final velocity of electron . Charges on proton and electron are same in magnitude .

As LHS of both the equation are same , RHS will also be same . That means the kinetic energy of both proton and electron will be same

1/2 M V² =  1/2 m v²

(V / v )² = ( m / M )

(V / v ) = √ ( m / M )

In other words , their velocities  are  inversely proportional to square root of their masses .

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

 "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

Explanation:

If he writes down "The distance between crests is 3 cm." 

That means he is describing the wavelength of a wave and not longitudinal wave. He ought to write something about " direction "

Longitudinal waves are waves in which the displacement of the medium is in the same direction as, or parallel to, the direction of propagation of the wave. While

Wavelength is the distance between the two successfully Crest or trough
