What are the magnitude and direction of his acceleration

Reference no: EM13491673

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 904 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1130 N. The mass of the sky diver is 92.2 kg. What are the magnitude and direction of his acceleration?
