Question
Is it possible for air resistance to be greater than gravitational force? (1 point)
Yes. Air resistance is greater than gravitational force at the moment a skydivers parachute opens.
Yes. Air resistance is greater than gravitational force at the moment a skydiver's parachute lands on the ground.
No. Air resistance can never be greater than gravitational force.
No. Air resistance is always less at terminal velocity and gravitational force is more.

The correct answer is:
**Yes. Air resistance is greater than gravitational force at the moment a skydiver's parachute opens.**
When a parachute opens, the increased surface area significantly increases air resistance. At that moment, the force of air resistance can exceed the gravitational force acting on the skydiver, leading to a rapid deceleration.
