a = 7.8 m/s^2
Explanation:
Let Fnet = net force = ma
m = mass of the skydiver
a = acceleration caused by Fnet
W = weight = mg
f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance
Fnet = W – f(air)
= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) – (200 N)
= 780 N
Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is
a = Fnet/m
= (780 N)/(100 kg)
= 7.8 m/s^2
