Answer:

470.4N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the skydiver = 48kg

Unknown:

Force she exerts as she is falling to the ground = ?

Solution:

The force she exerts while falling to the ground is her weight;

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Weight = 48 x 9.8 = 470.4N
