Question 14
FA skydiver jumps from a hovering helicopter.
The Figure shows the vertical forces on the skydiver at three points, X, Y and Z, during the fall.
Figure
a.[2]
Calculate the resultant force on the skydiver at X.
Give the direction of the resultant force.
b.[2]
Describe the motion of the skydiver at Y.
c.[3]
Explain the motion of the skydiver at Z.
d.[2]
The gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg.
Calculate the mass of the skydiver.
