Answer:

9.81m/s²

Yes, the acceleration is as expected because the diver is falling under gravity

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of skydiver  = 60kg

Gravitational force  = 588.6N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the diver = ?

Solution:

To find the acceleration of the diver, we use the Newton's second law of motion which is expressed as;

          Force  = mass x acceleration

 Acceleration  = [tex]\frac{Force }{mass}[/tex]    = [tex]\frac{588.6}{60}[/tex]    = 9.81m/s²

Yes, the acceleration is as expected because the diver is falling under gravity
