A parachutist relies on air resistance to decrease

Reference no: EM13539201

A parachutist relies on air resistance (mainly on her parachute) to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 52.5 kg and air resistance exerts a total upward force of 610 N on her and her parachute.
