How do i figure out this physics problem?

The acceleration of gravity is 10 m/s.


What will be the acceleration of a skydiver when air resistance builds up to 95% of her weight? Answer in units of m/s squared





How do i figure out this physics problem?
The resultant force is 5% x Wt. Therefore acc = 5% of 10 m/s^2 = 0.5 m/s^2How do i figure out this physics problem?
The net force accelerating her is 1/20 of her weight, so the answer is 0.5 m/s^2.
