Answer:
Parachute exerts a force of 619.2 N upward
The net force is 86.4 N acting downward
Explanation:
As the gravitational acceleration g = 9.8 m/s2, the parachute help reduces the net acceleration to 1.2m/s. So it must exerted an upward acceleration on the skydiver of
9.8 - 1.2 = 8.6 m/s2
Since the skydiver mass is 72 kg, we can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the force that causes this acceleration of 8.6
F = ma = 8.6*72 = 619.2 N acting upward
The net force is also the product of net acceleration and mass
= 1.2 * 72 = 86.4 N acting downward
It Irregularly Reverses. I got the answer right on the test.
When the car speeds up, slows down, or goes around a curve,
passengers need a force applied to them to make them do the
same thing, otherwise they won't keep up with the car.
The force on the passenger is applied by means of friction between
the upholstery and the seat of his pants, and also by the seat-back
or his seat-belt.
