A skydiver of mass 87 kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 355 N of force on him as he falls, what is the net force on the skydiver? A. 1050 N down B. 853 N down C. 268 N down D. 498 N down

OpenStudy (shamim):

earth is attracting that skydiver by the force w=mg=87*9.8N

OpenStudy (shamim):

weight nd air frictional force r opposite direction

OpenStudy (shamim):

so net force is 87*9.8-355
