Question

Two skydivers of different masses jump from a plane. In three to five sentences, explain how their falls compare, including the effects of gravity, mass, and air resistance

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The skydiver with a greater mass will experience a greater gravitational force pulling them towards the ground compared to the skydiver with a smaller mass. This means that the skydiver with the greater mass will accelerate more quickly towards the ground. However, both skydivers will experience air resistance as they fall, which will counteract the force of gravity to some extent. The skydiver with the greater mass may have a slightly faster terminal velocity due to their greater gravitational force, but overall their falls will be fairly similar due to the effects of air resistance.
