Answer:
a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg
Explanation:
The amount of mass required to produce the energy can be given by Einstein's formula:

where,
m = mass required = ?
E = Energy produced = 3.5 x 10¹² J
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Therefore,

Hence, the correct option is:
<u>a) 3.9 x 10⁻⁵ kg</u>
a = 7.8 m/s^2
Explanation:
Let Fnet = net force = ma
m = mass of the skydiver
a = acceleration caused by Fnet
W = weight = mg
f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance
Fnet = W - f(air)
= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)
= 780 N
Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is
a = Fnet/m
= (780 N)/(100 kg)
= 7.8 m/s^2
