As a skydiver with a mass of 54 kg falls toward the Earth, she accelerates at 9.8 m/s". What is the force of
gravity acting upon the skydiver? What must be true about the force of air resistance acting on the skydiver?
A. The force due to gravity is 530 N. The force of air resistance is the same as the force due to
gravity.
B. The force due to gravity is 530 N. The force of air resistance is less than the force due to
gravity.
C. The force due to gravity is 9.8 N. The force of air resistance is the same as the force due to
gravity.
D. The force due to gravity is 9.8 N. The force of air resistance is greater than the force due to
gravity.
