Upon reaching a downward velocity of 100 miles per hour, 300 newions of drag resist the diver's motion. How large is the skydiver's acceleration?

#(10m-300)/m#

Explanation:

Let's assume the mass of the skydiver be #m#.

Therefore, the his weight would be #mg ~~10m" Newtons"#

At velocity of 100mph, force of drag #=300" Newtons"#

Net Force #= (10m-300)N#

#"Aceleration" = "Force"_"net"/"mass"#

#=>a=(10m-300)/m#
