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

True or false if an object has energy it must be moving
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object. The classic example of potential energy is to pick up a brick. When it's on the ground, the brick had a certain amount of energy.

What happens when solar energy heats a body of water?
Nataliya [291]
Explanation: Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor (Dunn,1993).

A 25 kg child runs at a speed of 5.0 m/s and jumps onto a stationary shopping cart and holds on for dear life. The cart has mass
makkiz [27]

Answer:

3.38 m/s

Explanation:

Mass of child = m₁ = 25

Initial speed of child = u₁ = 5 m/s

Initial speed of cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

Mass of cart = m₂ = 12 kg

Velocity of cart with child on top = v

This is a case of perfectly inelastic collision

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{25\times 5+12\times 0}{25+12}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{125}{37}\\\Rightarrow v=3.38\ m/s

Velocity of cart with child on top is 3.38 m/s

What will one see during an annular eclipse?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Partial eclipse, Annular eclipse, Total Eclipse and Hybrid Eclipse are the four different types of the eclipses. When the Sun and Moon are exactly in line with the Earth, the annular eclipse occurs. The new moon is invisible from the earth and it is silhouetted against the sun, this can only be seen in annular eclipse. Annular word means ring shaped, we can see a dark ring of fire in annular eclipse. It has five different stages that are first contact, second contact, maximum eclipse, third contact and 4th contact.

How do you find acceleration due to gravity with time and height given?
Feliz [49]

Here, height is given which will be the distance for a freely falling object.

The velocity will be

v=\text{ }\frac{h}{t}

and the acceleration will be

a=\frac{v}{t}

In this way, the formula works.
