When a skydiver falls, he constantly accelerates. Therby, falling faster and faster. But also he is slowed down a bit due to the force of air resistance.

Answer:

Explanation:

As a skydiver falls, he accelerates downwards, gaining speed with each second. The increase in speed is accompanied by an increase in air resistance. This force of air resistance counters the force of gravity.

Answer:

0.07756 m

Explanation:

Given mass of object =0.20 kg

spring constant = 120 n/m

maximum speed = 1.9 m/sec

We have to find the amplitude of the motion

We know that maximum speed of the object when it is in harmonic motion is given by $v_{max}=A\omega$ where A is amplitude and $\omega$ is angular velocity
