It is gravity. As a sky diver falls (ignoring air resistance for now) he increases in acceleration due to gravity, or 9.81m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). Inertia is, by definition, <span>a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force (credit to Google). However, if the sky diver has some kind of webbing on his suit, a drag force opposite to gravitational weight cancels it, and it moves at a constant drag velocity.

Sorry I got carried away... physicist...

Explanation :

When an object moves under the action of gravity. Then the object is said to be moving under free fall.

We know that the acceleration due to gravity is denoted by g and it is equal to $9.8\ m/s^2$ .

If the body is accelerating towards the gravity the value of g is positive while when it is accelerating against the gravity it is negative.

As the skydiver falls to Earth, she experiences positive acceleration due to gravity.

So, the correct option is (a) gravity.

Answer:

d. the actual motion is regular, but the speeds of particles are too large to observe the regular motion

Explanation:

The speeds of the particles are very large and comparatively the average free path is very small . Therefore time taken in covering the free path ( path between two consecutive collision with medium particles ) is very small . Hence the st line path covered by particles between two collision is less likely to be visible. Hence motion appears irregular or zig-zag.

Well, basically both Cheryl and Keaton is right.

matter is described as Physical substance that possessed space and mass.

But the thing is, one matter is very small in size and cannot be seen with naked eyes. But everything around us are made by matters
