Question

Suppose your mass is 75.0 kg. You step gently off the edge of a high diving platform, so that you essentially start falling from rest toward the Earth. (Ignore air resistance.) During your freefall, which force has the greater magnitude? the magnitude of the gravitational force of the Earth on you the magnitude of the gravitational force of you on the Earth neither - they are equal During freefall, your downward acceleration will have a magnitude of 9.80 m/s^2. At the same time, what is the magnitude of the Earth's upward acceleration? Show your work.

Explanation / Answer

a)

greater magnitude of force is

F = mg .

Answer is (c) neighter , they are equal.

b)

Earthe upward acceleration is equal to yous down wards acceleration.

so the upward acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 .
