While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. 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 because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, 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.
Answer:
Explanation:
In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.
Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.
Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.
Answer:8.75 s,
136.89 m
Explanation:
Given
Initial velocity
velocity after 5 s is 
Therefore acceleration during these 5 s
therefore time required to stop
v=u+at
here v=final velocity =0 m/s
initial velocity =31.29 m/s
(b)total distance traveled before stoppage
s=136.89 m
You should select Choice-4 .
For this case we have that by definition, the kinetic energy is given by the following formula:
Where:
m: It is the mass
v: It is the velocity
According to the data we have to:
Substituting the values we have:
finally, the kinetic energy is 
Answer:
Option A
