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.
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
A poker that will effectively and safely function to move pieces of coal or logs in a burning fire must be fireproof itself. Hence, to be as safe as possible, such <u>poker should be made from a material that is fireproof</u> and that does not conduct a lot of heat. Otherwise, the poker will catch fire/becomes too hot during the course of usage.
'Pressure' is (force) / (area).
The only choice with those units is #1 .
Answer: 1,600 seconds
Explanation:
31,360/9.8 = 3,200.
Then divide 3,200/2 = 1,600
Answer:
Increases.
Explanation:
The electric potential increases when the two positive charges of same magnitude bring close to one charge to another because there is repulsive force between them due to same charge and when the two opposite charges move away from each other, the potential energy decreases. When two opposite charges are brought closer together, electric potential energy decreases while on the other hand, when we move opposite charges apart from each other than the work done against the attractive force that leads to an increase in electric potential energy.
