scoundrel [369]

The gravitational force on the woman is A) 500 N

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the woman during her fall:

  • The force of gravity, F_G, acting downward
  • The air resistance, F_D, acting upward

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on the woman is equal to the product between the woman's mass and her acceleration:

\sum F=ma

where m is the mass of the woman and a her acceleration.

The net force can be written as

\sum F = F_G - F_D

Also, we know that the woman falls at a constant velocity (5 m/s), this means that her acceleration is zero:

a=0

Combining the equations together, we get:

F_G-F_D = 0

which means that the magnitude of the gravitational force is equal to the magnitude of the air resistance:

F_G=F_D=500 N

Komok [63]

The distance covered by an object accelerating from rest is

D = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)² .

In this particular case, 'acceleration' is 9.8 m/s² ... due to gravity.

D = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (1.67 s)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) · (2.789 s²)

D =  13.67 meters
