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>

Positive ions differ from neutral atoms in that

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

An ion is unlike a neutral atom in the fact that it has a charge. Because electrons are negatively charged, an atom becomes more positive if electrons are lost.

Two flat 4.0 cm × 4.0 cm electrodes carrying equal but opposite charges are spaced 2.0 mm apart with their midpoints opposite ea

Olenka [21]

Answer:

$q =1.07 \times 10^{-7}\ C$

Explanation:

given.

Two flat 4.0 cm × 4.0 cm electrodes carrying equal charge

space between the charges = 2 mm

Electric field strength = 7.6 x 10⁶ N/C

ε ₀ = 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C²/N · m²

magnitude of charge =?

Electric field strength between to two plates

$E = \dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_0}$

$q = E A \epsilon_0$

$q = 7.6 \times 10^6 \times 0.04 \times 0.04 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$q =1.07 \times 10^{-7}\ C$

A wire carrying a 2-A current is placed at an angle of 60° with the respect to a magnetic field of strength 0.2 T. If the length

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

0.208 N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current, I = 2A

Angle, A = 60°

Magnetic field strength, B = 0.2 T

Length, L = 0.6 m

Magnetic force is given as:

F = I * L * B * sinA

F = 2 * 0.6 * 0.2 * sin60

F = 0.24 * sin60.

F = 0.208 N
