This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 965 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1016 N. The mass of the sky diver is 98.5 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?arrow_forwardA 1.0-kg block slides on a rough horizontal surface.
