The graph shows how the vertical velocity of a parachutist changes from the moment the parachutist jumps from the aircraft until

landing on the ground. Using the idea of forces, explain why the parachutist reaches a terminal velocity and why opening the parachute reduces the terminal velocity.

Deffense [45]3 years ago

Answer:

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. ... The skydiver thus slows down. As the speed decreases, the amount of air resistance also decreases until once more the skydiver reaches a terminal velocity.

A car is travelling to the right with a speed of 40 m/s when the driver slams on the brakes. The car skids for 4 s with constant
vazorg [7]

Answer:

10m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

velocity= 40m/s

time= 4 seconds

Acceleration a =????

We know that

a= velocity/time

substitute

a=40/4

a= 10m/s^2

Hence the acceleration will be 10m/s^2

Consider two wires made of copper. They have the same diameter but one of them has three times the length of the other. Choose t
boyakko [2]

Answer:

a. Both wires have the same resistivity

Explanation:

For the resistance of a wire , following formula holds good .

R = ρ l / S , R is resistance , l is length , S is cross sectional area and ρ is resistivity of the material that the wire is made of. Resistance is dependent on length and cross sectional area but resistivity does not depend upon length or cross sectional area . It only depends upon the type of material.

If we replace  copper wire with aluminium wire , then resistivity will change .

Hence , since the wire remains made of copper , resistivity will not change.

What is the purpose of a kink in a thermometer?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A 'kink' in the glass tube which breaks the mercury as it contracts, storing the highest temperature reading. The glass tube is shaped like a lens to magnify the thin mercury thread. Shaking the thermometer resets the mercury back into the bulb.
