While skydiving, its not just freely falling under Earth's gravity. Additional force called drag acts against the gravity which slows down the rate of fall. Drag is caused by the air molecules which pushes against the body as it falls through them. This is actually a significant amount of force which slows down the rate of fall of the body. Drag depends on the contact surface area and weight. 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 because of the less contact surface area of the body with the air molecules while in the former case. No two persons have identical body shape and weight. Hence, 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.
Your answer would be motion because u need force to stop motion or anything at that matter
Answer: 8 meters per second
Explanation: If you add 60 to 20 you get 80 meters and since he ran those 80 meters in 10 seconds you divide 80 by ten and get 8 and then you get 8m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
To solve this problem we use the Hooke's Law:
(1)
F is the Force needed to expand or compress the spring by a distance Δx.
The spring stretches 0.2cm per Newton, in other words:
1N=k*0.2cm ⇒ k=1N/0.2cm=5N/cm
The force applied is due to the weight
We replace in (1):
We solve the equation for m:
