All objects on earth experience a force of gravity that pulls objects "downward" towards the center of the earth. The force of gravity acting on a person is 1000 N down and the force of air resistance is 215 N up. Find the net force.

The net force is 785 N

Explanation:

The net force = Force in one direction - force in the opposite direction

Here the Downward force due to gravity = 1000N

and the Upward force of air = 215 N

The net force = Downward force due to gravity -Upward force of air

Substituting the given values, we get -

The net force = 1000 -215  = 785 N

Hence, the net force is 785 N

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
