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

The beat your doctor listens to through a sethoscope is the sound of the four values opening
djyliett [7]

and closing .

The heart has 4 valves. They are what makes the lub-dub lub-dub sounds that can be heard from the chest.  

The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It closes the left atrium to collect oxygenated blood from the lungs and opens to pass it on to the left ventricle.

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It closes the right atrium to hold unoxygenated blood and opens to pass it on to the right ventricle ensuring a one way flow.

The aortic valve is located between the aorta and the left ventricle. It closes the left ventricle and opens to the aorta to pass on the oxygen-rich blood to the body.

The pulmonary valve is located between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. It closes off the right ventricle and opens to pass on unoxygenated blood to the lungs.

A high-jump athlete leaves the ground, lifting her center of mass 1.8 m and crossing the bar with a horizontal velocity of 1.4 m
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity = 1.4 m/s

Height = 1.8 m

We need to calculate the minimum speed must she leave the ground

Using conservation of energy

K.E+P.E=P.E+K.E

\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+0=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2

\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=gh+\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{2}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=9.8\times1.8+\dfrac{(1.4)^2}{2}

\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=18.62

v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times18.62}

v_{1}=6.10\ m/s

Hence, The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.
