Question

All objects on earth experience a force of gravity that pulls objects "downward" towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity acting on a person is 1000 N down and the force of air resistance is 215 N up. Find the net force.

Answer 1

Answer:

The net force is 785 N

Explanation:

The net force = Force in one direction - force in the opposite direction

Here the Downward force due to gravity = 1000N

and the Upward force of air = 215 N

The net force = Downward force due to gravity -Upward force of air

Substituting the given values, we get -

The net force = 1000 -215  = 785 N

Hence, the net force is 785 N
