Remark

He's pulled upwards by the parachute. The formula is given below. Details are found searching for terminal velocity.

$V_t=\sqrt\frac{2mg}{\rho A C_d}$

Whatever that calculation turns out to be, a person has to be going a whole lot slower before he can safely hit the ground. The parachute is designed so that the person will be slowed very quickly to a safe velocity so when he hits the ground the impulse will not be as great as it could be. The force that the parachute delivers acts upward and opposes the force of gravity which is a downward force.

A rocket burns fuel to create hot gases that explode violently out of the rocket engine. This explosion creates thrust. Thrust i

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.

Explanation:

From the concept of Escape Velocity, derived from Newton's Law of Gravitation, definition of Work, Work-Energy Theorem and Principle of Energy Conservation, which is the minimum speed such that rocket can overcome gravitational forces exerted by the Earth, and according to the Tsiolkovski's Rocket Equation, which states that thrust done by the rocket is equal to the change in linear momentum of the rocket itself, we conclude that thrust due to fuel consumption must overcome gravitational force from the Earth to send the rocket up into space.
