An 850 N Skydiver experiencing 200 N of air resistance? Calculate.
To calculate the net force acting on the skydiver, you subtract the force of air resistance from the force of gravity.
Given:
Force of gravity (Fg) = 850 N
Force of air resistance (Fa) = 200 N
Net force (Fn) = Fg - Fa
Substituting the given values into the equation:
Fn = 850 N - 200 N
Fn = 650 N
Therefore, the net force acting on the skydiver is 650 N.
