Question
question 7
recall whether the following sentence is true or false.
balanced forces can only act on objects that are not moving.
true
false
im not sure
question 8
look at the image of the skydiver ab determine the correct end to the se
when air resistance and gravity are balanced, the skydiver will:
stop falling
speed up
slow down
continue to fall at a constant speed
im not sure
Question 7
Balanced forces mean the net force is zero. An object can be in motion (at a constant velocity) with balanced forces. So the statement is false.
When air resistance and gravity are balanced (net force = 0), according to Newton's first law, the skydiver will continue in its state of motion. Since it was already falling (in motion), it will continue to fall at a constant speed.
