Question

Please Help

A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter, so there is no forward velocity. Use this information to answer questions. Ignore wind resistance for this exercise.
What is the skydiver's velocity after one second? Show your work and include direction.

Answer 1

I suppose that by forward velocity the question refers to horizontal velocity

Since the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m/s2.The object gains an increase of 10 m/s in speed per second.In after one second its speed will be 10M/S

The direction will be downward i.e vertical
