Question

1. a skydiver in free fall experiences several forces. which forces would be included in a free body diagram for the skydiver shown below? gravity and normal force friction and applied force gravity, applied force, and friction gravity and friction

Explanation:

• Gravity: It is the force that pulls the skydiver towards the Earth.
• Friction (Air Resistance): As the skydiver falls through the air, air molecules exert a frictional force (air resistance) opposite to the direction of motion.
• Normal Force: There is no surface in contact with the skydiver to exert a normal force.
• Applied Force: There is no external force being applied to the skydiver (like a push from another object in this context).

Answer:

gravity and friction
