acceleration

[nikkithbby]

lets 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.




what is the skydivers acceleration

[Rev. Green]

If you neglect wind resistance, her acceleration is almost exactly the same as if she were stationary when she left the 'plane i.e. just that due to gravity.
