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.

Explanation:

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.

Answer:

Top - None; Right - Air resistance; Bottom - \(F_g\); Left - None.
