Answer:

86.4 N downward

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration of a body.

The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).

The Expression of force is given as,

F = ma ................ Equation 1

Where F = force of the parachute harness, m = mass of the skydiver, a = acceleration of the skydiver.

Given: m = 72 kg, a = 1.2 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

F = 72(1.2)

F = 86.4 N down ward.

Hence the force on the parachute harness = 86.4 N downward

When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball ____________.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: "B" Changing Position

Great Question!

Explanation: <u><em>When a ball bounces to the ground it hits the ground with some energy. The amount of energy with which it hits the ground is kinetic energy. When it comes in the contact with the ground kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy. This potential energy again gets converted into kinetic energy and balls moves again from the ground and bounces multiple times. So, the ball ends up changing position</em></u>

Two equipotential surfaces surround a +3.10 x 10-8-c point charge. how far is the 290-v surface from the 41.0-v surface?
MrMuchimi
 T<span>he equation to be used here to determine the distance between two equipotential points is:
V = k * Q / r 

where v is the voltage of the point, k is a constant, Q is charge of the point measured in coloumbs and r is the distance. 
In this case, we can use ratio of proportions to determine the distance between the two points. in this respect, 

Point 1: 
V = k * Q / r = 290
r = k*Q/290 ; kQ = 290r

Point 2:
V = k * Q / R = 41
R = k*Q/41
from equation 10 kQ = 290r
R = 290/(41)= 7.07 m 
The distance between the two points then is equal to 7.07 m.
