A parachute is a device used to slow down an object that is falling towards the ground. without a parachute the gravity is more than air resistance. But, as the parachute opens, the air resistance increases.

Stop to Think 7.1 Which one is greater- the attraction of the Earth on 1 kg lead or the attraction of 1 kg of led
Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 kg lead to earth is greater attraction as mass of earth is much more than 1kg lead.

Explanation:

Objects with more mass have more gravity. Gravity also gets weaker with distance. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass

A piano emits frequencies the range from a low of about 28 Hz to a high of about 4200 Hz. Find the range of wavelengths in air a
Step2247 [10]
V=wave velocity , <span>f= frequency, </span><span>λ=wavelength </span>
<span>Use it to find corresponding wavelengths for</span><span> f=28 Hz </span>
<span>λ= v/f= 337/28=12.036 m 
</span>
<span>for f=4200 Hz </span>
<span>λ= v/f=337/4200= 0.08 m </span>

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing is called
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The force generated by a single muscle fiber can be increased by increasing the frequency of action potentials

Explanation:

The force generated by a muscle fiber is the result of the shortening of the skeletal muscle, and this force is also know as muscle tension. The larger motor units shorten along with the smaller units to produce the muscle force. The time lapsed between the beginning of the action potential in the muscle and the beginning of the contraction is the latent period. Action potential is the result of the difference electrical potential as a result of passage of an impulse along the membrane of a muscle or nerve cell.
