You apply a very small force, say 0.001 newtons, to a very large truck, with a mass of 2000 kilograms. What can you say for sure about what will happen to the truck? The truck will accelerate (move from rest to motion) as long as that tiny force is larger than any force of friction that opposes it.

The truck will not move because small forces cannot move large objects.

The truck will accelerate (move from rest to motion) as long as the small applied force is large enough to overcome the inertia of the truck.

An extremely small force can never accelerate such a large truck. The truck will not move under any circumstance.

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v 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. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.

Agroup of students is studying convection currents. they fill two identical balloons with the same amount of helium. one balloon is placed in a freezer and the other in an area with warm air. after 10 minutes, the balloons are released from a height of 1 meter. which of the following do the students most likely observe? question 2 options: the balloons rise at the same rate. both balloons are the same size. the ballons both rise. the cold ballon is larger than the warm balloon. the cold balloon expands and rises. the warm balloon shrinks and sinks. the warm balloon expands and rises. the cold balloon shrinks and sinks.
