TheI momentum of a skydiver increases as speed increases does the momentum of the earth simultaneously change how much and in what direction how does the system made up of the earth and the skydiver?
For a simple answer, we have to ignore air resistance. As the skydiver's downward momentum increases, the earth's upward momentum increases by an identical amount. The total momentum of the earth-skydiver system remains constant.
Whats the weight you have to be skydiver?
The maximum weight for a person to skydive is 220 pounds.
The fource that pulls a skydiver back to earth is called?
gravity
How much air resistance acts on a 500 N skydiver that falls at her terminal velocity?
500 N is pressumably the weight, due to gravity. "Terminal velocity" means that the forces are in balance; the total force acting on the skydiver are zero. This is only possible if there is a 500 N force due to friction, to counteract the weight.
How does a skydiver increase his or her terminal velocity?
adding weight and by decresing air recistance
How fast does a skydiver fall?
Speed during free fall can change depending on a skydiver's size and body orientation. In the belly to earth orientation, the speed is about 120 mph. If the skydiver is wearing a wing suit, their vertical speed could be as low as 60 to 70 mph. In a head down orientation, the speed can often be greater than 200 mph.

How can a skier achieve greater velocity than a skydiver?
If a skier is in a jump, then a skier and skydiver is pretty much the same thing. In general though, a skydiver has only air resistance, the skier has air resistance and friction with the ski-snow, so the skydiver has an edge on speed.
If a skydiver with a mass of 70 kg accelerates to Earth at a rate of 9.8 ms2 due to gravity what is the force on the skydiver?
F = m A = (70) (9.8) = 686 newtons (154 pounds)Coincidentally, this is the same reading the skydiver sees when he steps on the bathroom scale.
Why won't a skydiver's speed continue to increase until his or her parachute opens?
Once a skydiver jumps off the plane, they will begin picking up speed. However, as the speed of the skydiver increases, the amount of air resistance acting upon them will also increase. The skydiver will continue to accelerate while his or her weight is greater than the air resistance. When the force of the air resistance becomes equal to the weight of the skydiver, the skydiver will stop accelerating and will continue falling at a constant speed, this is known as the terminal velocity. While travelling at terminal velocity, the skydiver will be able to adjust his or her body position in a way that will increase or decrease the air resistance and allow the diver to alter their speed. Releasing his or her parachute will drastically increase the amount of air resistance and therefore slow their descent significantly.
How does the weight of an object on earth compare with it's weight on the moon?
On the Earth, the object weighs 6.04 times as much as its weight on the moon.
