Answer:because the parachute is built so the wind will push up on it make the man/woman glide or fall slowly will a stone which has a lot of desentity

falls through the air faster do to is weight and shape .

A 72-kg skydiver is falling from 10000 feet. At an instant during the fall, the skydiver
MissTica

Answer:

Approximately 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity isg = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.)

Explanation:

Assuming that g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be W = m \cdot g = 72 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 706.32\; \rm N (points downwards.)

Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.

Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:

\begin{aligned}F(\text{net force}) &= W - F(\text{air resistance})\\ &= 706.32\; \rm N - 540\; \rm N =166.32\; \rm N \end{aligned}.

Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:

\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \\ &= \frac{166.32\; \rm N}{72\; \rm kg} = 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}.

A 1.5m wire carries a 7 A current when a potential difference of 87 V is applied. What is the resistance of the wire?
kramer

Answer:

Ohm's law states that I=V/R (Current=volts divided by resistance). Since we're looking for resistance, we'll rewrite it as R=V/I. Then just plug in the numbers; R=84/9, R= 9 1/3 or 28/3. The resistance of the wire is 9.33... or 9 1/3 ohm's, depending on how you wanna write it.

Hope it helped u if yes mark me BRAINLIEST!

Tysm!

I would appreciate it!
