Describe how engineers designed a parachute to create the forces needed to slow down the falling person.

Physics
1 answer:
shepuryov [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down. Sorry if not helpful.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The electromagnetic force

Explanation:

The electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. Namely, they are:

- Electromagnetic force: it is the force exerted between electrically charged particles (and between magnetic fields). The force can be either attractive (if the two charges have opposite signs) or repulsive (if the two charges have same sign), and it acts over an infinite range.

- Gravitational force: it is the force exerted between objects with mass. It is always attractive, and it also has an infinite range of action. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

- Strong nuclear force: it is the force that acts between protons and neutrons inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for keeping the nucleus together and preventing it from breaking apart (due to the electrostatic repulsion between protons)

- Weak nuclear force: it is the force responsible for certains nuclear decays, such as the beta decay, in which a neutron turns into a proton, emitting an electron and an antineutrino.

Sunlight strikes a solar panel, which is then used to power the lights in a
Stells [14]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Sunlight comes in the form of light energy. Upon striking the solar panels, it converts the light energy into electrical energy so as to run throughout the circuits. Then since it's used to power light, the electrical energy will be converted back into light energy

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 9.8 m/s. Its velocity after 1 second will be
Reil [10]

\LARGE{ \underline{\underline{ \purple{ \bf{Required \: answer:}}}}}

GiveN:

  • Initial velocity = 9.8 m/s²
  • Accleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²
  • Time taken = 1 s

To FinD:

  • Final velocity of the ball?

Step-by-step Explanation:

Using the first Equation of motion,

⇒ v = u + gt

⇒ v = 9.8 + -9.8(1)

⇒ v = 0 m/s

The final velocity is hence <u>0</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u><u>.</u>

<h3>Note:</h3>

  • While solving questions of under gravity motions using equations of motion, remember the sign convection to avoid mistakes.
  • You can consider positive above the ground and negative for towards it.

A small but measurable current of 5.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 3.0 mm. The number of charge carriers
swat32

Answer:

a) The current density ,J = 2.05×10^-5

b) The drift velocity Vd= 1.51×10^-15

Explanation:

The equation for the current density and drift velocity is given by:

J = i/A = (ne)×Vd

Where i= current

A = Are

Vd = drift velocity

e = charge ,q= 1.602 ×10^-19C

n = volume

Given: i = 5.8×10^-10A

Raduis,r = 3mm= 3.0×10^-3m

n = 8.49×10^28m^3

a) Current density, J =( 5.8×10^-10)/[3.142(3.0×10^-3)^2]

J = (5.8×10^-10) /(2.83×10^-5)

J = 2.05 ×10^-5

b) Drift velocity, Vd = J/ (ne)

Vd = (2.05×10^-5)/ (8.49×10^28)(1.602×10^-19)

Vd = (2.05×10^-5)/(1.36 ×10^10)

Vd = 1.51× 10^-5
