Explanation:

because the boy has larger surface area due to which he offers the larger air resistance which decreases the acceleration so, he will fall towards the earth's surface approximately with constant velocity.

How much equal charge should be placed on the earth and the moon so that the electrical repulsion balances the gravitational for

kumpel [21]

As we know that electrostatic force between two charges is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

here we know that electrostatic repulsion force is balanced by the gravitational force between them

so here force of attraction due to gravitation is given as

$F_g = 1.98 \times 10^{20} N$

here we can assume that both will have equal charge of magnitude "q"

now we have

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(q^2)}{(3.84 \times 10^8)^2}$

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = (6.10 \times 10^{-8}) q^2$

now we have

$q = 5.7 \times 10^{13} C$

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above

Virty [35]

Answer:

v = 6.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above the water, s = 1.8 m

The initial speed of the diver, u = 3.62 m/s

Let v is the speed with which she hit the water. It will move under the action of gravity. Using the equation of motion as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2gs\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{(3.62)^2+2(9.8)(1.8)} \\\\v=6.95\ m/s$

So, she will hit the water with a speed of 6.95 m/s.

Which of the following is the best definition of gravity?

IRISSAK [1]

In physics, gravity is the natural force that causes things to fall toward the earth. The noun gravity can also mean seriousness or solemnity. Someone who conducts themselves with an air of gravity is someone who takes what they are doing seriously.
