Question

1. a skydiver in free fall experiences several forces. which forces would be included in a free body diagram for the skydiver shown below? gravity and normal force gravity and friction friction and applied force gravity, applied force, and friction

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze forces on skydiver

A skydiver in free - fall has the force of gravity pulling downwards due to Earth's mass. Also, as the skydiver moves through the air, air resistance (a form of friction) acts in the opposite direction of motion. There is no normal force as there is no surface in direct contact with the skydiver to exert it, and no applied force in the context of external agents pushing or pulling the skydiver.

Answer:

gravity and friction
