Plate tectonicss a property of the behavior of systems, plates, that are far from fundamental, like particles. So any statement about them is a theory.

How do Swati and Banks adjust their body position during a skydiving jump so they can fall at the same rate?
Wittaler [7]

Sky diving involves free fall under gravity along with the drag due to air molecules pushing against the body slowing the rate of fall of a body. This is actually a significant amount of force.  The drag force depends on the contact surface area and weight of the body. More the surface area in contact, more would be the drag. The sitting position of the skydiver would experience less drag than the chest down position. This is because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. Since no two persons have identical body shape and weight, the rate of fall can be made nearly equal but not exactly equal. This is would be possible when they are having same body position.

How much work is done if 10 N is applied to a 5kg object for 10 meters if there is an opposing force of 5 N
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

50 J

Explanation:

The net force acting on the box is given by the algebraic sum of the two forces, so:

F=10 N -5 N = 5 N

The net work done on the box is equal to (assuming the net force is parallel to the displacement of the object)

W=Fd

where

F = 5 N is the net force on the object

d = 10 m is the displacement of the object

Substituting,

W=(5 N)(10 m)=50 J
