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. Thank you

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The skydiver with the larger mass will experience a greater gravitational force pulling them towards the ground compared to the skydiver with the smaller mass. This means the heavier skydiver will fall faster than the lighter skydiver. However, both skydivers will experience air resistance as they fall, which will slow down their descent. The skydiver with the larger mass will have more momentum and will be harder to slow down due to their greater inertia. Overall, the heavier skydiver will hit the ground with a greater impact and force compared to the lighter skydiver.

Answer 2

Shorter and simpler

Answer 3

The skydiver with more mass falls faster due to a stronger gravitational force. Both skydivers experience air resistance which slows their descent. The heavier skydiver hits the ground with more force due to their greater momentum and inertia.
