    Finding Force of Air Resistance on Parachutist Falling at 55km/h

    is the end answer 404.86?

    No never mind 3.29 would be the acceleration you use to calculate the net force?

    Finding Force of Air Resistance on Parachutist Falling at 55km/h

    So the Deceleration would be 12 m/s and then the net force would be 3.29 m/s?

    Yeah sorry I was answering your question about how I got the first number. Not really, is the deceleration the force of air resistance?

    I got it by doing mass times gravity, The initial speed is 15.29 m/s

    Nope, I have no idea where to even start but I did try using: Fnet=ma which is Fnet=3410 and I subtracted the free fall acceleration of 607.6 and I ended up with 2802.4 Is that anything like what I need to do?

    Finding Force of Air Resistance on Parachutist Falling at 55km/h

    1. A parachutist of mass 62 kg is falling at 55 km/h when her parachute open. She then falls 24 m in the next 2.0 seconds. Find the force of air resistance acting on the parachute during those 2.0 seconds.2. Could I just find the force of friction?3. I found out what the force would be if not...
