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

A bike accelerates uniformly(from rest to a speed of 7 m/s over a distance of 40 m. Determine
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

0.61 m/s^2

Explanation:

The bike's acceleration can be found by using the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity of the bike

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance covered

For the bike in the problem,

u = 0

v = 7 m/s

d = 40 m

Solving the equation for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{7^2-0}{2(40)}=0.61 m/s^2

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Torque = R X F = R * F sin theta

-f * 2R  will exert an equal opposite torque

-f * 2 = F sin theta

Two forces F1=20N and F2=30N are acting on an object as shown in figure: F1=20N F2=30N (i) Find the net force acting on the obje
Harman [31]

The net force is the 10N force and its direction is towards F2 force.

<h3>What is resultant force?</h3>

The resultant force or the net force is the actual force that acts on a body. We are told that the two forces act in opposite directions hence the net force is F2 - F1  = 30 N - 20 N = 10 N.

ii) The direction of this net force is going to be towards the 30N force.

iii) If the body does not move under the application of these forces then the F1 force must be reinforced by another force which balances it against the F2 force.
