Earth's gravity pulls down on a skydiver with 845 N of force. A) What is the magnitude of the force of gravity on the skydiver? B) In what direction is the force of gravity acting?

Answer :

Answer:

a) 845 N

b) Towards the center of the earth

Explanation:

Gravity is a force that acts towards the center of the earth. It is the force that pulls an object towards the center of the earth. The whole earth is a large gravitational field.

The gravitational force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object. The direction of the gravitational force is always towards the center of the earth hence it pulls any object that goes up downwards towards the earth.
