A skydiver with a mass of 75.0 kg jumps out of an airplane as part of a local air show.
Determine the weight of the skydiver.
Answer:
Newtons (round to 3 digits)
When a skydiver reaches terminal velocity, they are falling downwards at a constant velocity. How much upwards force (air resistance) must this 75.0 kg skydiver experience to reach terminal velocity?
Answer:
Newtons (round to 3 digits)
Upon opening the parachute, the skydiver experiences an upwards force of 550 N. What is the skydiver's acceleration with the open parachute? (Neglect the mass of the parachute).
Answer:
m/s^2 (round to 3 digits)
