When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the s

ky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 968 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1085 N. The mass of the sky diver is 98.8 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign

Answer:

The value a = 1.1842 \ m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the sky diver is W =  968 \  N

The magnitude of the drag force is D_f  =  1085 \  N

The mass of the sky diver is m  =  98.8 \ kg

Generally the net force acting on the sky diver is mathematically represented as

F = m * a  =  D_f  - W

Hence the acceleration of the sky diver is mathematically represented as

a =  \frac{D_f - W}{ m}

=> a =  \frac{1085 - 968}{  98.8}

=> a = 1.1842 \ m/s^2

Three 500-g point masses are at the corners of an equilateral triangle with 50-cm sides. What is the moment of inertia of this s
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

0.25 kg m^2

Explanation:

mass of each , m = 500 g = 0.5 kg

distance, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Moment of inertia about the axis passing through one corner and perpendicular to the plane of triangle

I = mr^2 + mr^2

I = 2 mr^2

I = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5

I = 0.25 kgm^2

Which group was guaranteed voting rights by the Fifteenth Amendment?
castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted African American men the right to vote by declaring that the "right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Although ratified on February 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th Amendment would not be fully realized for almost a century. Through the use of poll taxes, literacy tests and other means, Southern states were able to effectively disenfranchise African Americans. It would take the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 before the majority of African Americans in the South were registered to vote.

An asteroid exerts a 360-N gravitational force on a nearby spacecraft. If the spacecraft moves to a position three times as far
KIM [24]

Answer:

40 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the asteroid and the spaceship is given by:

F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the asteroid

m is the mass of the spaceship

R is the distance between the asteroid and the spaceship

The initial force is equal to:

F=G\frac{mM}{R^2}=360 N

Later, the spaceship moves to a position 3 times as far from the center of the asteroid, so R' = 3R. Therefore, the new force will be

F'=G\frac{mM}{R'^2}=G\frac{mM}{(3R)^2}=G\frac{mM}{9R^2}=\frac{1}{9}F

so, the force is decreased by a factor 9. Since the initial force was F=360 N, the new force will be

F'=\frac{360 N}{9}=40 N
