A skydiver, who weighs 500 N, reaches terminal velocity of 90 km/h. The air resistance on the diver is then
A) 500 N.
B) 90 N.
C) 250 N.
D) 410 N.
E) none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At terminal velocity, the air resistance force equals the gravitational force acting on the skydiver, which is 500 N, ensuring the net force is zero and the velocity remains constant.
