A 75.0kg teacher (including the parachute) is skydiving! As the parachute opens, the system experiences a 1000N drag.

Physics

Ronch [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Net force = 250 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a teacher, m = 75 kg

As the parachute opens, the system experiences a 1000N drag.

We need to find the magnitude of net force acting on the teacher. 2 forces are acting on her i.e. drag force and weight.

Net force,

F = mg-D

= 75(10)-1000

= -250 N

Hence, the net force is 250 N and it is acting in the upward direction.

A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 N. As the elevator rises, his weight increase
ololo11 [35]

As per FBD while its accelerating upwards

we can say that

F_n - mg = ma

here normal force is given as

F_n = 1050 N

W = 840 N

now mass is given as

m(9.8) = 840

m = 85.7 kg

now we will have

1050 - 840 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.45 m/s^2

Now while accelerating downwards we can say by FBD

mg - F_n = ma

again plug in all values

840 - 588 = 85.7 \times a

a = 2.94 m/s^2

How do professional bicycle riders reduce friction. Name two ways.<br> Thx
wlad13 [49]
A well maintained bicycle is key.  Oil the chain so that it's less likely to get hung up.  It will have a smoother flow.  Another could be in their clothing.  Notice they usually wear good fitting clothing?  I believe the more from fitting pants help clothing friction.  Another way could be keeping the tires well inflated so that the tires aren't dragging.  Rolling along smoothly on properly inflated tires seems like a must.  Get a few more answers along with mine, so that you have a variety to choose from.

If an incident light ray hits a flat smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of…
Nookie1986 [14]

Option B is correct. If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28°. It will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

<h3>What is the law of reflection?</h3>

The law of reflection specifies that upon reflection from a downy surface, the slope of the reflected ray is similar to the slope of the incident ray.

The reflected ray is consistently in the plane determined by the incident ray and perpendicular to the surface at the point of reference of the incident ray.

When the light rays descend on the smooth surface, the angle of reflection is similar to the angle of incidence, also the incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the surface all lie in a similar plane.

If an incident light ray hits a flat, smooth object at 28 degrees, it will reflect off at an angle of 28°.

Hence, option B is correct
