Question

“while parachuting” does this has effectWhile parachuting, a 65.0kg person experiences a downward acceleration of 2.70m/s^2. What is the downward force on the parachute from the person?

Answer 1

We have the next information

m=mass=65

a=acceleration=2.70 m/s^2

We can use the next formula to find the force

`DF=mg-ma`

where DF is the downward force and g is the gravity

`DF=(65)(9.8)-(65)(2.7)`
`DF=461.5\text{ N}`
