What does a skydiver hope to see above him just after the ripcord is pulled?
When he or she wants the parachute to open
What is a cumpas pulled by?
The needle of a compass is pulled by the magnetic force of the poles. North and south not random lengths of metal sticking out of the ground
How can we slow down the skydiver?
Air resistance and ultimately the ground.
What does gravitationally mean?
Gravitationally may refer to the type of force exerted on a body of mass, this force the force of gravity. For instance if I were to say that orange (I will say orange to avoid parading all over Newtons work) was gravitationally pulled to the ground I would be saying the force of gravity that the earth exerts on the orange pulled it to the ground.
Examples of tension force in a play ground?
The swings because the chains are being pulled on when you sit on the seat.
What happens to a moving object with zero nets force acting on it?
Certainly. Say you have an object that has been falling through the air for a long time, say a skydiver. After falling for a long time, the skydiver will fall at a constant velocity. This is called terminal velocity, and this is when the air resistance pushing up around the skydiver is equal to the force of gravity pulling the skydiver down. The skydiver is not accelerating. By using F= ma, with zero acceleration, there is zero net force. The skydiver is moving as if there are no forces acting on the skydiver.
A 950 N skydiver jumps from an altitude of 3000 m what is the total work performed on the skydiver?
Work is the force times distance, so the answer is 2,850,000 joules.
A 950-N skydiver jumps from an altitude of 3000 m. What is the total work performed on the skydiver?
Work is the force times distance, so the answer is 2,850,000 joules.
If a skydiver jumps out of a plane which force is greater gravity or air resistance?
Gravity
What force causes the ball to fall to the ground?
The force that causes the ball to fall to the ground is gravity. Gravity is a natural force that attracts objects towards each other, and in the case of the ball falling, it is being pulled towards the Earth's center by the force of gravity.
What would the force of a skydiver with a mass of 70 kg and accelerates at 9.8 ms2 be?
The force is 686 newtons. (Force = mass x acceleration).
what force is increased after the skydiver open parachute?
To start with there is gravitational attraction. As soon as the skydiver starts falling, (s)he will experience the drag force due to air resistance. The gravitational force is essentially constant but the drag increases as the diver's velocity increases until it equals gravity. The diver is the falling at terminal velocity and will continue to do so until the parachute is operated.
