Remark

He's pulled upwards by the parachute. The formula is given below. Details are found searching for terminal velocity.

$V_t=\sqrt\frac{2mg}{\rho A C_d}$

Whatever that calculation turns out to be, a person has to be going a whole lot slower before he can safely hit the ground. The parachute is designed so that the person will be slowed very quickly to a safe velocity so when he hits the ground the impulse will not be as great as it could be. The force that the parachute delivers acts upward and opposes the force of gravity which is a downward force.

Answer:

i/f = i/o + i/i f = focal, o = object, i = image

1 / i = 1 / f - 1 / o = (o - f) / o f

i = o * f / ( o - f) image distance

i = 12.5 * 22 / (12.5 - 22) = -28.9 cm

Image is real

Image is 28.9 cm to left of lens

M = - i / o = = 28.9 / 12.5 = 2.3 magnification (convex lens)

A bus and a bicycle have a head-on collision. Compare the force of impact between the bus and the bicycle; compare the accelerat

kati45 [8]

The force of impact is same for both bus and the bicycle. The acceleration of bicycle will be greater than the acceleration of bus.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The interaction that occurs between two objects refers to collision. this makes the two objects to come in contact with each other. The third law of Newton states that, when there occurs a collision between two objects, then the force that is applied on each object will be same. But, the direct in which the force is impacted will be in opposite direction.

The magnitude of the forces will be equal but the direction will not be same. The collision results in gaining the momentum by one object and losing momentum by another. The acceleration is mainly associated with the mass of the object. When the object has smaller mass, it will be accelerated more. In the given example, as bus is heavier than bicycle, the bicycle will have greater acceleration than the bus.
