A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a

cceleration over a distance of 0.750 m, what force does the ground exert on her? (b) If the parachutist comes to rest over a shorter distance, is the force exerted by the ground greater than, less than, or the same as in part (a)? Explain.

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

Compare and contrast a series and parallel circuit. Give at least one way that they are alike and one way that they are differen
masya89 [10]
A parallel circuit has multiple paths from the energy source to the resistors (e.x., lightbulbs). If one bulb was to burn out, the rest would stay on, unlike a series circuit. If one bulb was to burn out, the circuit is no longer fully connected because there is only one path from the energy source to the resistors. But, despite these differences, they are similar in the way that they do have paths from the energy source to the resistors.

Assuming the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is exactly one-sixth of the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, what is t
uysha [10]

<u>I have assumed a weight of 120 N on Earth.</u>

Answer:

<em>The object weighs 20 N on the moon</em>

Explanation:

Weight

The weight of an object depends on the mass m of the object and the acceleration of gravity g of the place they are in.

The formula to calculate the weight is:

W = m.g

If g_e is the acceleration of gravity on Earth, and g_m is the acceleration of gravity on the moon, we know:

g_m=1/6 g_e

Dividing by ge:

g_m/g_e = 1/6

An object of weight We=120 N on planet Earth has a mass of:

m = 120 / g_e

Multiplying by gm:

m.g_m=120 g_m/g_e

Substituting the ratio of accelerations of gravity:

m.g_m=120 * 1/6

Since m.gm is the weight on the Moon Wm:

W_m=20~N

The object weighs 20 N on the moon

Ultraviolet rays are used to _____.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Grow plants where little light is available

Explanation:

The plants need the ultraviolet rays in order to be able to survive and develop. The need mainly comes from the dependence of these rays for production of food, in a process known as photosynthesis. The plants are producers, thus they create their own food. In order to be able to do that they are using the ultraviolet rays, as well as water, and carbon dioxide. By combining them, the plants manage to create glucose for them, and that is their food source. The plants that are kept at places where there's not enough light are often exposed to ultraviolet rays so that they are able to perform the process of photosynthesis and grow properly.

When melting of a metamorphic rock occurs, it changes into what?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The upper limit of metamorphism occurs at the pressure and temperature of wet partial melting of the rock in question. Once melting begins, the process changes to an igneous process rather than a metamorphic process. During metamorphism the protolith undergoes changes in texture of the rock and the mineral make up of the rock.
