Question

a parachutist weighs 1000N. when she opens her parachute, it pulls upwards on her with a force of 2000N. (a) draw a diagram to show forces acting on the parachutist. (b) calculate the resultant forces acting on the parachutist. (c) what effect will this force have on her ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a) diagram is shown in attached figure.

b)

                        Resultant Force= Fnet= 2000-1000= 1000 N   (upward)

c)the force will lift parachutist  upward with acceleration  =Fnet/ m

where m is mass of parachutist    

                                                      m=weight/g

                                                          =1000/10=100 kg

               acceleration of parachutist=Fnet/ m

                                                            =1000/100

                                                      a=10 m/s²
