D. Using a fixed-pulley system
Answer:
Approximately
(assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is
.)
Explanation:
Assuming that
the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be
(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:
.
Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:
.
An example of an environmental issue is the acid rain in Germany. The acid rain is caused by pollution. Pollution that was caused by car putting harmful gases into the air is the main reason that there is acid rain in Germany. This is a problem because the acid rain is destroying Germany’s forests. Hope this helped!
