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

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.

None whatsoever.
You're confusing the formation of the Earth with the so-called "Big Bang".
The sun and planets formed billions of years AFTER the Big Bang.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

v = 2.57 m /sec

Explanation: See Annex Free Body Diagram

From free body diagram and Newton´s second law we have

There is not movements in the y axis direction

cos 30°  =  √3/2       sin 30°  =  1/2

We have  P  = mg   =  3 Kg  *  9.8 m/sec²

P  =   29.4  Kg*m/ sec²      P  =  29.4 [N]

Py  =  P * cos 30°    Py =  29.4 [N] * √3/2   ⇒    Py = 25.43 [N]

Px  =   P * sin 30°    Px =  29.4 [N] * 1/2      ⇒     Px = 14.7  [N]

∑ F   =  m* a         ⇒    ∑ Fy   =  0       ∑ Fx  =  m *a

∑ Fy   =  Fn  -  Py   =  0         Py   = P*cos30°       Py = 25.43 [N]

Fn  =  25.43 [N]

Fr  =  μk * Fn      ⇒   Fr  =  0.19 * 25.43   ⇒ Fr  =  4.83 [N]    

Now

∑ Fx  =  m *a       mg sin30° - Fr =  m*a    ⇒   Px  - Fr  = m*a

14.7 [N]   -  4.83 [N]   =  3 [kg] * a       ⇒   9.87 /3   = a [m /sec²]

a = 3.29 [m/sec²]

From uniformly accelerated movement

distance  =  x₀  + V₀*t ± at²/2     but  x₀   and  V₀    =  0

Then

d = ( 1/2 )*a*t²     ⇒  1 [m]  * 2  =  3.29 [m/sec²] * t²

t  =  0.78 sec

And finally

v =  a*t      ⇒   v  =  3.29 *(.78)     ⇒   v = 2.57 m /sec
