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

During normal beating, the heart creates a maximum 3.60 mV potential across 0.250 m of a person's chest, creating a 1.00 Hz elec
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The maximum electric field strength is 0.0144 V/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric potential created in the heart, V = 3.6 mV

Distance, d= 0.25 m

Frequency of the the electromagnetic wave, f = 1 Hz

We need to find the maximum electric field strength created. We know that the electric potential is given by :

V=Ed

E is the maximum electric field strength

E=\dfrac{V}{d}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.6\times 10^{-3}\ V}{0.25\ m}\\\\E=0.0144\ V/m

So, the maximum electric field strength is 0.0144 V/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

If you changed the surface of the incline the car is rolling down, how might that impact the distance and speed the car travels?
Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation: As the angle is increased the acceleration of the object is increased as the angle increases the component of the force parallel to the incline increases and the component of forced perpendicular to the inclined decreases it is the parallel component of the weight vector that causes the acceleration.

Which of the following is not a natural resource? a. time b. water c. land d. air Please select the best answer from the choices
AleksAgata [21]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Resources which are created by human beings are known as man-made resources.

For example, glass, rayon, nylon etc are all man-made resources.

Whereas resources which are naturally created are known as natural resources.

For example, wind, air, water etc are all natural resources.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options time is not a natural resource.
