Have you ever been skydiving? Is this something that you would ever want to do? What is the force that is acting against gravity

when things fall to the ground from thousands of feet above sea level? How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate? During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel? Use the formula =1/2 * t2 to solve your answer. (Do not forget to keep units in your answer.)

Have you ever been skydiving?

no


Is this something that you would ever want to do?

no


What is the force that is acting against gravity when things fall to the ground from thousands of feet above sea level?

air drag


How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?

by pulling in or stretching out their limbs which change their body's cross section area n drag force


During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel?

Use the formula distance=1/2*acceleration * t2

distance traveled=1/2*(-9.8)*(120)^2

=-70560m

=-70.56km

-ve means down

Hi,

Have you ever been skydiving?

No I haven't.

Is this something that you would ever want to do?

No, I wouldn't want to do this.

What is the force that is acting against gravity when things fall to the ground from thousands of feet above sea level?

Either air friction or drag.

How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?

You need to move your arms and legs in different positions for your body to turn and go faster or slower.

During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel? Use the formula =1/2 * t2 to solve your answer. (Do not forget to keep units in your answer.)

58.8km.

A 13.4-mH inductor carries a current i = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=I_%7Bmax%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="I_{max}" alt="I_
Digiron [165]

The voltage across an inductor ' L ' is

V = L · dI/dt .

I(t) = I(max) sin(ωt)

dI/dt = I(max) ω cos(ωt)

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

L = 1.34 x 10⁻² H

ω = 2π · 60 = 377 /sec

I(max) = 4.80 A

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

V = (1.34 x 10⁻² H) · (377 / sec) · (4.8 A) · cos(377 t)

<em>V = 24.25 cos(377 t)</em>

V is an AC voltage with peak value of 24.25 volts and frequency = 60 Hz.

Answer: Attach it to clothing, personal flotation device or the person's person.

Explanation:

This particular Question or problem has to do with the rules and regulations or laws governing the use of Personal Watercraft(PWC) in the state of Florida in the United States of America. Hence, one of the rules that is applicable to the use of boats and waterways or the use of personal watercraft in Florida is that in florida, if ones pwc is equipped with an engine cut-off lanyard the person operating it must ATTACH IT TO THE CLOTHING, PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICE IR THE OPERATORS' PERSON.

Another rule band the use of flammable personal flotation device with Personal Watercraft(PWC) in the state of Florida. All this rules and guildlines are made to limit or minimize hazards.
