The parachutists are not hurt when they jump out of an airplane, why?​

Darya [45]3 years ago

When the parachute deploys it increases the persons air resistance to (temporaily) greater than the force of weight. This causes them to decellerate. As they decellerate resistance decreases again until once again it balances out. Terminal velocity is reduced to a safe level, and landing without injury is possible.

Lee pushes horizontally with a force of 75 n on a 36 kg mass for 10 m across a floor. calculate the amount of work lee did. answ
svlad2 [7]
To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J

Suppose that you have a 680 Ω, a 720 Ω and a 1.20 kΩ resistor. (a) What is the maximum resistance you can obtain by combining th
Delvig [45]

Explanation:

As the given data is as follows.

    R_{1} = 680 \ohm ohm\ohm,    R_{2} = 720 \ohm ohm,

   R_{3} = 1.2 k\ohm = 1200 \ohm   (as 1 k ohm = 1000 m)

(a)   We will calculate the maximum resistance by combining the given resistances as follows.

      Max. Resistance = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

                                  = (680 + 720 + 1200) \ohm ohm

                                  = 2600 ohm

or,                               = 2.6 k\ohm ohm

Therefore, the maximum resistance you can obtain by combining these is 2.6 k\ohm ohm.

(b)   Now, the minimum resistance is calculated as follows.

      Min. Resistance = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}} + \frac{1}{R_{3}}

                                 = \frac{1}{680} + \frac{1}{720} + \frac{1}{1200}

                                 = 3.683 \times 10^{-3} ohm

Hence, we can conclude that minimum resistance you can obtain by combining these is 3.683 \times 10^{-3} ohm.
