Reference no: EM13616392

A parachutist relies on air resistance (mainly on her parachute) to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 55.5kg and air resistance exerts a total upward force of 650N on her and her parachute.

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

2) Calculate the net force on the parachute?

3) Is the net force upward or downward?

4) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the parachutist?

5) What is the direction of acceleration? up or down?
