Answer to Question #78226 in Physics for Seher

Question

A container of emergency food supplies is attached to a parachute. The container has a mass of 210 kg and experiences an upward force of 1.92 x 10^3, due to air resistance. What is the crate's acceleration?

Answer 1

The Newton’s second law gives
ma=mg-F_up
Thus
a=g-F_up/m
=9.81-〖1.92 ×10〗^3/210=0.67 m/s^2
