The force of the air resistance is 4 N.

The given parameters;

mass of the flower pot, m = 2 kg

weight of the flower pot, W = 20 N

Let the air resistance = F

Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the force of the air resistance acting upward to oppose the motion of the pot falling downwards.

$\Sigma F = ma\\\\W - F = ma\\\\a = \frac{W - F}{m} \\\\8 = \frac{20 - F}{2} \\\\20 - F = 16\\\\F = 20 - 16\\\\F = 4 \ N$

Thus, the force of the air resistance is 4 N.

Answer:

The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use the energy from sunlight to make organic matter from carbon dioxide and water. This establishes the beginning of energy flow through almost all food webs.

A car travels along a straight line at a constant speed of 53.0 mi/h for a distance d and then another distance d in the same di

Shalnov [3]

A distance of d is covered with 53 mile/hr initially. Time taken to cover this distance t1 = d/53 hour Next distance of d is covered with x mile hours. Time taken to cover this distance t2 = d/x hours. We have average speed = 26.5 mile / hour

= Total distance traveled/ total time taken

= $\frac{2d}{\frac{d}{53}+\frac{d}{x}} = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{53}+\frac{1}{x} } = \frac{106x}{x+53}$
