Consider a parachutist that has reached terminal velocity. which of the following is true? A.) The acceleration of the parachuti

trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer is:
B.) At terminal velocity there is no net force

In fact, when the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity, his velocity does not change any more. It means that the acceleration acting on the parachutist is zero, and for Newton's second law, this means the net force acting on him is zero:
 $\sum F = ma = 0$
because the acceleration is zero: a=0.
This also means that the two relevant forces acting on the parachutist (gravity, downward, and air resistance, upward) are balanced to produce a net force equal to zero.

How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

Rina8888 [55]

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it. But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is:

(the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do. The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

A spaceship is traveling toward Earth while giving off a constant radio signal with a wavelength of 1 meter (m). What will the s

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Less than 1 m

Explanation:

When objects are getting closer to each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the blue shift of waves. Here, the wavelength reduces.

In the opposite case the when objects are getting farther from each other there is a slight change in the wavelength that is being transmitted by either objects. This is known as the red shift. Here, the wavelength increases.

In this case the spaceship is getting close to Earth hence the wavelength will be lower than 1 m.

When you eat a candy bar, your body oxidizes glucose to get energy. where does this energy come from? kinetic energy of the gluc

babymother [125]

The correct answer is
"chemical bonds within the glucose molecules "

The chemical bonds of the glucose molecules contain chemical energy, and when these bonds are broken by the processes acting inside the body, the energy of the bonds is released and it can be used by the body.
