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
Using the equation v(avg)=distance/time
and the equation v=v(original)+a(t)
solve for acceleration
2600=0+a(12)
a=216.66666 m/s^2
Then, you use the equation
v^2=v(original)+2a*(change in x)
2600^2=2(216.666666)*change in x
6760000/2/216.666666 = 15600 meters which is the length of the race
Then using v(avg)=x/t
15600/12= 1300 m/s
