Why is it dangerous to jump of a tall building Explain this in terms of the forces acting on you?

There is no air resistance to keep you from hitting the ground, the density of your body is heavier then the air, causing you to fall quickly into the ground.

What are the forces acting on a man when he falls from the top of a building?
The gravitational pull on the falling man and the wind resistance acting against the fall.
Think Critically A book resting on a table slows down and comes to a stop Explain whether the forces acting acting on the book are balanced or unbalanced?
As long as the book's velocity changes, there is a net forces acting on it - in other words, the forces are unbalanced. By the way ... How exactly does a book that is resting on a table slow down and come to a stop ?
Are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced?
are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced
If balanced forces are acting on an object it will seem as if a net force is acting on the object?
If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting
What are 4 forces acting in an airplane during flight?
Forces acting on an aircraft in flight are:gravityliftdrag
Explain Can there be forces acting on an object if the object is a rest?
Yes. Forces with identical value but with opposite direction will produce no displacement.
What are the forces acting on a man when he falls from the top of a building?
The gravitational pull on the falling man and the wind resistance acting against the fall.

How do you explain the effect of balanced forces on the state of motion of an object?
A balanced group of forces acting on the object has no effect on its motion. The object continues moving in a straight line at constant speed.
Are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced?
are any the forces acting on the freezer balanced
Newtons third law describes the forces between two colliding objects use the connection to explain the forces acting when you kick a soccer ball?
for every action there is a reaction so this is the force.
If balanced forces are acting on an object it will seem as if a net force is acting on the object?
If the forces are balanced this means that there is no net force acting
What are 4 forces acting in an airplane during flight?
Forces acting on an aircraft in flight are:gravityliftdrag
Is it possible for an object to not be in motion and still have forces acting on it?
Yes, the object can have equal forces acting in opposite directions: 5N ->[]<- 5N The object will have forces acting upon it, but will not move.
What forces are acting when you are riding and then thrown from your bike?
The forces acting on the bike is gravity, air resistance and friction.
What are the similarities between balanced and unbalanced forces?
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
How an object can have forces acting on it but not be accelerating?
Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.Yes - if the sum of the forces is zero.
