A falling body on Earth will generally not fall at constant acceleration in reality, due to air resistance (or drag). The equation for the drag force Fd isFd = 0.5 (Cd A) ρ v2where Cd is the unitless drag coefficient of a body (which depends on the body's density and other properties), A is its cross-sectional area as it falls, ρ is the density of the air, and v is the body's velocity with respect to the atmosphere. Now, you may need to look up a couple of things to get a reasonable answer here, but anyway: The drag force on a person falling belly-first (as shown) at a speed of 30.0 m/s through the atmosphere is approximately a 500 N b 50 N c 5 N d 5000 N
