Question
after the hurricane, helicopter rescue teams delivered food packets to a stranded family. the motion of the food packet after it was dropped is shown in the fbd. label all the forces acting on it.
Step1: Analyze the motion of the food packet
When the food packet is dropped, the main force acting on it due to the Earth's gravity is \(F_g\) (gravitational force).
Step2: Consider the motion through air
As the packet moves through the air, there is a force opposing its motion, which is air resistance.
