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.
<span>Velocities are vectors so we can add them!
Let's let +x be East and -x be West.
-0.9 + 2.7 = 1.8
Since our answer is positive that means East so the answer is C.</span>
112/2.63= 42.586

Answer:
They will not meet
h-hX=1.2*g*t²
hX=v0*t-(1/2*g*t²)
Explanation:
fall h=1/2*g*t²
elevation time if v0=20 m/s te=v0/g=20 m/s /9.81 m/s²=2.0387s
hmax=v0²/(2*g)=(400 m²/s²)/19.62 m/s²2=20.387 m
free fall
t=2.0387s yields hX=1/2*g*t²=20.387 m
h-hX=200m - 20.387 m=179,613 m.
so, the second body has not enough initianoal speed to reach a meeting point
As radiation enters a solid or liquid, the light waves are absorbed and reflected by the atoms. the resulting reflection from an atom can be in any direction and is random. you can understand opacity in terms of the scattering of radiation. The more opaque, the more scattering.
(The truth is far more complicated than this, check out Richard Feynmans lectures on "Quantum Electro Dynamics" to learn the reality of it. )
