Question

. What is a balanced force? How does this help a parachutist in the fall
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When two forces are acting on an object and are not equal in size, we say the forces are unbalanced. Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion by changing the object's speed or direction. The man and the parachute are slowly falling to the ground.

Once the parachute is opened, the air resistance overwhelms the downward force of gravity. The net force and the acceleration on the falling skydiver is upward. An upward net force on a downward falling object would cause that object to slow down. The skydiver thus slows down.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but act in opposite directions, we say that they are balanced forces...
