Answer:

A) As her parachute opens, her acceleration is upwards.

Explanation:

The acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity.

Thus, if you have positive velocity and positive acceleration, your velocity increases

If you have positive velocity and negative acceleration, then your velocity decreases.

(The opposite happens when you have negative velocity).

Now, when the skydiver is falling, her velocity is downwards.

When she opens her parachute, her velocity downwards decreases.

This means that when she opens her parachute, she will have an acceleration in the opposite direction to her velocity, then at this point her acceleration is upwards.

We can conclude that the correct option is:

A) As her parachute opens, her acceleration is upwards.

How does a sound wave transfer energy to your ears?
inessss [21]

Answer:

I think it's C!

Explanation:

Sound waves travel at 343 m/s through the air and faster through liquids and solids. The waves transfer energy from the source of the sound, e.g. a drum, to its surroundings. Your ear detects sound waves when vibrating air particles cause your eardrum to vibrate. The bigger the vibrations the louder the sound.

Hope this helps!

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

Your study buddy claims that an electron always experiences a force in an electric field, but not always in a magnetic field. do
timurjin [86]
It's true charged particles are always acted on by an electric field.when the velocity of the electron is parallel to the magnetic field, the magnetic force vanishes.
