A skydiver jumps out of a helicopter and falls freely for 8.2 s before opening the parachute.(
a) What is the skydiver's downward velocity when the parachute opens?
(b) How far below the helicopter is the skydiver when the parachute opens?

PLEASE HELP!!

Respuesta :

parameters given are:

time= 8.2 seconds

g(acceleration due to gravity)= [tex]9.8 m/s{2}[/tex]

(a) skydivers downward velocity is given as

Vf = Vo + g(t)

Vf= 0 + 9.8 + (8.2)

Vf= [tex]80.36 m/s^{2}[/tex]

(b) distance of the skydiver below the helicopter

h= Vo + 1/2 gt^2

h= 0 + (0.5) *(9.8) * (8.2)^2

h= 0.5* 9.8 * 67.24

h= 329.48m

What is Velocity?

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its direction.

The skydivers downward velocity is 80.36m/s^2

The distance form the skydiver to the helicopter is 329.48 meters

In conclusion, initial velocity in the given question is equal to zero.
