Question

Consider the The free body diagram of a parachute flying to the sky what force represented by the arrow 5Y opposes gravity?

Answer 1

C) fluid friction

Step-by-step explanation:

The force opposing gravity, air resistance, is a type of friction, fluid friction. In this case, air or a mixture of gases, is considered to be a fluid.

Answer 2

`F_y` = normal force

Step-by-step explanation:

The free body diagram of a parachute flying to the sky. The force acting on it are force of gravity and the normal force.

The force of gravity is given by :
`F_x`

On the other hand, the normal force is given by :
`F_y`

Hence, the correct option is (A) "normal force".
