A skydiver with a weight of 800 N experiences an air resistance force of 300 N. The net force on the skydiver is Question 4 Select one: a. 500 N downward. b. 300 N downward. c. 300 N upward. d. 500 N upward.
Added by Sarah H.
Step 1
Net force = Weight - Air resistance force Net force = 800 N - 300 N Net force = 500 N Show more…

While parachuting, a 75.0 kg person experiences a downward acceleration of 3.00 m/s2. What is the downward force on the parachute (the drag force) from the person? Ignore the effects of air resistance and take g = 10.0 m/s2. Select one: a. 535 N b. 750 N c. 975 N d. More information is needed. to answer this question. e. 225 N

A skydiver is falling at constant velocity. If a force of 600 N is pulling down on the skydiver, how much force must be acting upward on the skydiver? exactly 600 N slightly more than 600 N slightly less than 600 N exactly 0 N
A 50 kg skydiver is falling downwards and accelerating 6 m/s2 down. What is the net force on the skydiver? 300 N, up 8.3 N, down 300 N, down 500 N, up
