Question

A skydiver weighing 840 N opens his parachute at the appropriate height from the ground. The air exerts a significant upward drag force, which is initially greater than the weight of the diver. This helps to slow the skydiver down. What is the diver's acceleration (both direction and magnitude) if the magnitude of the drag force is 1160 N?
magnitude m/s2
direction
-320 N
