Question

10. Which object would have the slowest speed at terminal velocity? (1 point)

a 50-kilogram block with a large parachute.

a 10-kilogram block with no parachute

a 10-kilogram block with a small parachute

a 50-kilogram block with no parachute.
11. How does an open parachute slow a skydiver's fall? (1 point)

the parachute changes the mass of the skydiver.

the parachute weakens the force of gravity.

the parachute pulls the skydiver up.

the parachute increases the force opposing gravity.
12. Use the scenario to answer the following questions:

Two skydivers of different masses jump from a plane. The skydivers have identical parachutes.

What force pulls both skydivers toward the ground after they jump from the plane?

(1 point)

Air Resistance

Gravity

Friction

Buoyancy
13. Use the scenario to answer the following questions:

Two skydivers of different masses jump from a plane. The skydivers have identical parachutes.

How does the force of gravity on the two skydivers compare?

(1 point)

It depends on their speed.

It is the same on both skydivers.

It is greater on the heavier skydiver.

It is greater on the lighter skydiver.
14. Use the scenario to answer the following questions:

Two skydivers of different masses jump from a plane. The skydivers have identical parachutes.

Both skydivers have identical parachutes. What effect does this have on their falls?

(1 point)

Both skydivers experience the same air resistance and fall at the same speed.

Both skydivers experience the same air resistance but fall at different speeds due to their mass.

The heavier skydiver experiences less air resistance and falls slower.

The lighter skydiver experiences more air resistance and falls faster.
