Question
a skydiver has jumped out of a plane and is falling faster and faster. what forces are present in this situation? gravity air resistance gravity and air resistance gravity, air resistance, and normal force
Brief Explanations
Gravity pulls the skydiver downwards. Air resistance acts in the opposite direction of the skydiver's motion through the air. Since the skydiver is not in contact with a solid surface in a way that would generate a normal force (like standing on the ground), there is no normal force here.
