HELLPP? Now let's look at a skydiver who jumps out of a plane that has a forward velocity of 40 m/s. That means that the skydiver has a forward velocity of 40 m/s. Use this information to answer the rest of the questions. Continue to ignore air resistance.

What is the skydiver's acceleration?

joannablackwelder · Answer

I think that accelleration of the sky diver is -9.8 m/s^2 in the vertical direction, provided the positive direction is away from the earth. 0 in the horizontal direction.

This is the case of free fall.

Make sense?

a little

joannablackwelder · Answer

The only force that is acting on the skydiver is the force of gravity. Acceleration must come from a force.

Does that help, or do you have any questions .
