A skydiver falls toward the ground at a constant velocity. Which statement best applies Newton’s laws of motion to explain the skydiver’s motion? An upward force balances the downward force of gravity on the skydiver. The skydiver’s inertia is zero, which no longer allows for acceleration. An unbalanced force pulls the skydiver toward the ground. The mass of the skydiver is so great that there is no acceleration

The answer is (a.) An upward force balances the downward force gravity on the skydiver

The skydiver is falling at a constant velocity because the upward force is balancing the downward force of gravity. According to Newton, the opposite force balance each other. This is stated in Newton's second law of motion.

A) an upward force balances the downward force of gravity on the skydiver

Explanation: I got it correct on my test on edge

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
