Question

A parachute provides an upward force of 400 N. If the person has a mass of 150.0 kg, what does the force due to gravity have to be in order for there to be a constant velocity in the down direction?

A) 1500.0 m/s/s
B) 400 N
C) 10 m/s/s

Answer 1

1,500 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass = 150 kg

Gravitational acceleration = 10m/s²

Find:

Force

Computation:

Force = mg

Force = 150 x 10

Force = 1,500 N
