The acceleration (a vector quantity) of gravity on a sky diver is 9.8 m/s. If the force of the wind also causes an acceleration of 2.9 m/s at an angle of 11 above the horizontal, what is the resultant acceleration of the sky diver? Set up the problem by representing each force as a vector. Let S represent the downward force on the sky diver due to gravity, let W represent the upward force on the sky diver due to the wind, and let R represent the resultant vector. Vector S W Magnitude The resultant acceleration of the sky diver is (Round to one decimal place as needed.) Standard-position Angle at an angle of from the vertical.
