Answer:
Due to the resistance of air, a drag force acts on a falling body (parachute) to slow down its motion. Without air resistance, or drag, objects would continue to increase speed until they hit the ground. The larger the object, the greater its air resistance. Parachutes use a large canopy to increase air resistance. Also, Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.

Answer:
the translation I got for this question is
Which of the temperature scales is the oldest?
Explanation:
and i searched for it and got this=
Fahrenheit scale
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of. These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.
Answer:
Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd
Explanation:
The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is
d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd
The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was
d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
