A parachutist relies on air resistance (mainly on her parachute) to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 52 kg and air resistance exerts a total upward force of 640 N on her and her parachute.

1)What is the combined weight of the parachutist and parachute?

2)Draw a free-body diagram for the parachutist.

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it.This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the skydiver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the skydiver is 900 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1020 N. Themass of the sky diver is 91.8 kg. What are the magnitude anddirection of his acceleration?
magnitude 1 m/s2
direction 2 ---Select--- upward downward

When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 958 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1105 N. The mass of the sky diver is 97.8 kg. What are the magnitude and direction of his acceleration?
