Answer:

If the force remains the same, the acceleration would decrease

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is given by

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

where

F is the force applied to the object

m is the mass of the object

As we see from the formula, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, if the force F remains constant, this means that if the mass of the skateboarder increases, then the acceleration will decrease.

A 560-g squirrel with a surface area of 930cm2 falls from a 5.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use a dra

Explanation:

Terminal velocity is given by:

$v_t=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho C_dA}}$

Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration, $C_d$ is the drag coefficient, $\rho$ is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:
