Question

While parachuting, a 66.0-kg person experiences a downward acceleration of 2.60 m/s2. 1) what is the downward force on the parachute from the person? (express your answer to three significant figures?

Answer 1

The downward force will be 172 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Newton's second law of motion

F=ma

given m=66 Kg

acceleration=a=2.6m/s

Hence the downward Force will be

Downward force=ma

Downward force=(66)(2.6)

Downward force= 172 N
