Groups of skydivers need to navigate through the air during a jump to get into a formation. How can skydivers who are below the formation join the group? (1 point)

Question

A. They can form their bodies into a ball to slow their acceleration.

B. They can spread their bodies to decrease the strength of gravity.

C. They can spread their bodies to slow their acceleration.

D. They can form their bodies into a ball to decrease the strength of gravity.

Answer 1

C. They can spread their bodies to slow their acceleration.

By spreading their bodies out, skydivers create more surface area, which increases air resistance and slows their fall. This allows those below the formation to ascend relative to the faster-falling skydivers above.
