Describe the forces that act on a skydiver before

Physics
1 answer:
MrRissso [65]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

<em>Before the parachute opens: Immediately on leaving the aircraft, the skydiver accelerates downwards due to the force of gravity. There is no air resistance acting in the upwards direction, and there is a resultant force acting downwards. The skydiver accelerates towards the ground.</em>

<em>Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.</em>

If a car is moving to the left with constantvelocity, one can conclude that
jeka94

Answer:

The net force applied to the car is zero.

Explanation:

We are given that a car is moving to the left with constant velocity.

When the car moving with constant velocity

Then, the final velocity=Initial velocity

Change in velocity=Final velocity- initial velocity=0

When change in velocity is zero then , acceleration of car

a=\frac{change\;in\;velocity}{time}=\frac{0}{t}=0

When acceleration is zero then, By Newtons second law

Force=Mass\times acceleration=Mass\times 0=0

The net force applied on the car will be zero.

Option C:The net force applied to the car is zero.

If 2.2 lbs = 1.0 kg, and Megan Progress weighs 130 lbs, what is her weight in newtons?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Force = 2802.8 Newton

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 130 lbs

But, 2.2 lbs = 1.0 kg

130 lbs to kg = 130 * 2.2 = 286 kg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

To find the force in Newton;

Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity

Force = 286 * 9.8

Force = 2802.8 Newton

an experiment is designed to see if the shells of sea snails are weakened by exposure to sea water which is more acidic than nor
Naily [24]
Since the statement of the problem is to determine if levels of acidity in sea water affect the strength of a sea snail's shell, then the best statement of hypothesis should be:

"<span> if the shells are affected by the level of acidity, then they will be weaker.</span>"

That hypothesis refers directly to the theory being questions in the problem.
