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:
3675 J
Explanation:
Gravitational Potential Energy = 
× mass × g × height
( g is the gravitation field strength )
Mass = 50 kg
G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )
Height = 15 m
Gravitational Potential Energy = × 50 ×9.8 × 15
= 3675 J
I think shock waves require more speed they travel at the speed of sound
Answer:
24.8m/s
Explanation:
Given data
m1= 10kg
u1=25m/s
m2=17kg
u2=16m/s
v1=10m/s
v2=??
Applying the conservation of linear momentum
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
substitute
10*25+17*16=10*10+17*v2
250+272=100+17v2
522=100+17v2
522-100=17v2
422=17v2
Divide both sides by 17
v2= 422/17
v2= 24.8 m/s
Hence the velocity of the red cart is 24.8m/s in the opposite direction of the blue cart
