What is friction?
a. the opposite of inertia
b. the opposing force of gravity
c. an opposing force between two objects
d. a force that keeps objects moving in a straight line

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

Consider a hydrogen atom in the ground state. what is the energy of its electron? =e= jj now consider an excited‑state hydrogen atom. what is the energy of the electron in the =5n=5 level? =e5= j

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.
