To be an effective and active listener audience members have to suspend their judgments, preconceived notions, and control their initial emotional response to potentially receive the speaker's message. Open-mindedness also is a huge part of being a good listener.

If the force on an object is in the negative direction, the work it does on the object must be [2 points a) negative. b) positive c) the work could be either positive or negative, depending on the direction the object moves

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.

When an object is heated it contracts. a. true b. false
