scoundrel [369]

The gravitational force on the woman is A) 500 N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the woman during her fall:

  • The force of gravity, F_G, acting downward
  • The air resistance, F_D, acting upward

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the woman is equal to the product between the woman's mass and her acceleration:

\sum F=ma

where m is the mass of the woman and a her acceleration.

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_G - F_D

Also, we know that the woman falls at a constant velocity (5 m/s), this means that her acceleration is zero:

a=0

Combining the equations together, we get:

F_G-F_D = 0

which means that the magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the magnitude of the air resistance:

F_G=F_D=500 N

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.
Ivenika [448]
Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond. 

Hope this helps! :)

Two billion people jump up in the air at the same time with an average velocity of 7.0 m/sec. If the mass of an average person i
faust18 [17]

Well first of all, you must realize that it depends on how the jumpers are distributed on the earth's surface.  If,say, one billion of them are in the eastern  hemisphere and the other billion are in the western one, then the sum of all of their momenta could easily be zero, and have no effect at all on the planet.  I'm pretty sure what you must have in mind is to consider the Earth to be a block, with a flat upper surface, and all the people jump in the same direction.

average mass per person = 60 kg.
jump velocity = 7 m/s straight up and away from the block, all in the same direction
one person's worth of momentum = (m) (v) = 420 kg.m/s
sum of two billion of them = 8.4 x 10¹¹ kg-m/s all in the same direction

Earth's "recoil" momentum = 8.4 x 10¹¹ in the opposite direction = (m) (v)

Divide each side by 'm' :     v = (momentum) / (mass) =

The Earth's "recoil" velocity is   (8.4 x 10¹¹) / (5.98 x 10²⁴) = 

                                                               1.405 x 10⁻¹³ m/s =

                                              <em> 0.00000000014 millimeter per second

</em>
I have no intuitive feeling for this kind of thing, so can't judge whether
the answer is reasonable.  But my math and physics felt OK on the
way to the solution, so that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

16

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged particles is given by

F=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the particles

In this problem, the initial force between the particles is F.

Later, the distance between the two particles is increased by four, so

r' = 4r

So, the new force between the particles will be

F'=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{(4r)^2}=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{16r^2}=\frac{1}{16}F

So, the new force decreases by a factor of 16.
