Hello!

\large\boxed{-2m/s^{2} }

Find the acceleration using the formula a =  (vf - vi) / t where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

t = time

Plug in the points above:

vf = +10 m/s

vi = +20 m/s

t = 5 sec

(10 - 20) / 5 = -10 / 5 = -2 m/s²

V = final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
s = displacement
Take downward direction as positive.
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
v^2 = 0.8^2 + 2(1.6)(5.5)
v^2 = 18.24
v = 4.27 m/s

A 500-n parachutist opens his chute and experiences an air resistance force of 800 n. the net force on the parachutist is then
Tasya [4]

Force of 500 N is acting on the parachutist.

Parachutist applies 500 N force in downward direction.

Answer:

300 N upward

Solution:

Parachutist feels air resistance of 800 N.

Thus, 800 N of force is acting in upward direction.

Total force acting on the parachutist is given by,

F_{net} = air resistance force - force of parachutist

F_{net} = 800-500

F_{net} = 300 N

Direction of force is in upward direction because the air resistance force is more than force of parachutist.
