There are two forces acting on the teacher:

Force due to weight/gravity (Fg)

Force due to drag (Fd), which is a resistance opposite to the direction of motion. Think of an airplane flying through the sky: there will be air that tries to oppose the plane's direction of motion AKA air-resistance.

The force of gravity is always downward (the direction of gravity).

Like we said before, the force of drag is always opposite to the direction of motion. Since the teacher is falling down, the force of drag is exerted upward.

Look at the attached diagram. The teacher is the circle in the middle. The two arrows indicate the two forces and their directions.

Now let's look at numbers:

Fg = mg = 65kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = ??N

Fd = 320N

To find the "Net Force" we must add up all of the forces exerted on the teacher, BUT we have to take into account the direction of forces.

Let's define downward as our "positive" direction. Since downward is positive, that means our force due to gravity is positive = +Fg

But since our force due to drag is UPWARD that means our force is NEGATIVE = -Fd.

So our total net force is

\Sigma F = F_g - F_d

(a) Calculate the total force of the atmosphere acting on the top of a table that measures 1.5 m 2.2 m.
frozen [14]
A)
Atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa.
Pressure = Force / Area
Area of table = 1.5 x 2.2
= 3.3 m²
Force = 101325 x 3.3
= 334 kN

B)
According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, the upward force is equal to the force acting downward on the table and is being balanced. The force is 334 kN in the upward direction.

The impulse given to a ball with mass of 2 kg is 16 N*s. If the ball starts from rest, what is its final velocity?
Alik [6]
The impulse is equal to the variation of momentum of the object:
I=\Delta p = m \Delta v
where m is the mass object and \Delta v = v_f - v_i is the variation of velocity of the object.

The ball starts from rest so its initial velocity is zero: v_i=0. So we can rewrite the formula as
I=m v_f
or 
v_f =  \frac{I}{m}

and since we know the impulse given to the ball (I=16 Ns) and its mass (m=2 kg), we can find the final velocity of the ball:
v_f =  \frac{16 Ns}{2 kg}=  8 m/s

Find the 24th term of the arithmetic sequence 11, 14, 17, … . Express the 24 terms of the series of this sequence using sigma no
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The 24th term is 80 and the sum of 24 terms is 1092.

Explanation:

Given that,

The arithmetic series is

11,14,17,........24

First term a = 11

Difference d = 14-11=3

We need to calculate the 24th term of the arithmetic sequence

Using formula of number of terms

t_{n}=a+(n-1)d

Put the value into the formula

t_{24}=11+(24-1)\times3

t_{24}=80

t_{24}=u_{24}=80

We need to calculate the sum of the first 24 terms of the series

Using formula of sum,

S_{n}=\dfrac{n}{2}(a+u_{24})

Put the value into the formula

S_{n}=\dfrac{24}{2}\times(11+80)

S_{n}=1092

Hence, The 24th term is 80 and the sum of 24 terms is 1092.
