Answer:

Mass of the man = 100 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the Earth, M = 6×10²⁴ kg

The radius of the Earth, r = 6400 km

Force on man, F = 977 N

We need to find the mass of the man. Let the mass of the man be m. The gravitational force acting between two objects is given by :

F=G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\\\\m=\dfrac{Fr^2}{GM}\\\\m=\dfrac{977\times (6400\times 10^3)^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}}\\\\m=99.99\ kg

or

m = 100 kg

So, the mass of the man is 100 kg.

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

None of the above forces on air drag on him is equal to his weight

Explanation:

In the velocity-time graph,the gradient of the curve where it is flatten shows the parachutist reaches the terminal velocity when it reaches terminal velocity which means the parachutist reaches constant velocity or speed,indicating that the acceleration of free fall(g) is zero.And according to the resultant force formula weight - air drag= mass*acceleration. so when accelerate is zero,resultant force is zero. And hence the equation will be like this: weight= air drag

What physical property makes the red light different from blue light, or radio waves different from microwaves?​
inna [77]

Only their wavelength does.

Blue light waves have only roughly half the wavelength of red light waves, and the so-called "microwaves" are the radio waves with the shortest wavelengths.
