Calculate the net force on the parachutist

Reference no: EM13708447

Compute all parts of given question:

Question: A parachutist relies on air resistance (mainly on her parachute) to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 55.0kg and air resistance exerts a total upward force of 680N on her and her parachute.

Part A: Calculate the net force on the parachutist.

Part B: Is the net force upward or downward?

Part C: What is the magnitude of acceleration of parachutist?

Part D: Is acceleration upward or downward?

I need help to determine the magnitude of acceleration of parachutist.
