As a skydiver fallsthe air is forced around him.what energy transformation doe's this cause?
As the skydiver falls, the air resistance forces kinetic energy to be transformed into thermal energy due to friction between the air and the skydiver's body. This reduces the speed of the skydiver as they fall towards the ground.
When does a skydiver have the greatest kinetic energy?
A skydiver have the greatest kinetic energy as he/she wants to hit the water.
When a skydiver falls the air is forced to move around him. What energy transformation does this cause?
As the skydiver falls, the moving air around them causes the conversion of the skydiver's gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy. This is because the air resistance exerts a force on the skydiver, causing work to be done and energy to be transferred from potential to kinetic.
A skydiver loses which type of potential energy as she falls?
She loses gravitational potential energy.
What is the Drag coefficient of a skydiver?
The drag coefficient of a skydiver can vary depending on their body position during free fall. Generally, the drag coefficient can range from 0.5 to 1.3 for a skydiver in free fall. This coefficient represents the drag force experienced by the skydiver due to the air resistance during descent.

Why is a skydiver not in freefall?
A skydiver is not in freefall when they have opened their parachute. The move from free-fall to controlled decent under a wing.

If a skydiver shot a pistol at another skydiver in mid free fall what would happen?
The bullet would either hit or miss the target, depending on how good the aim of the first skydiver was. Since the shooter was in free fall, he would be pushed back and probably begin to rotate rapidly.
When the skydiver steps out of the helicopter someone who's watching starts a stopwatch. So the time is zero as the skydiver steps out of the plane. What is the skydiver's downward velocity at that?
At the moment the skydiver exits the helicopter, their downward velocity is initially zero. As they fall due to gravity, their velocity will increase over time.
What energy is used when skydiving?
Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when skydiving. As the skydiver jumps from the plane, they have a high potential energy due to their height above the ground. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy as the skydiver accelerates towards the ground.
Why do skydivers usually fall with their arms and legs spread out?
The spreading of the arms and legs slows the fall and gives the skydiver more control of the fall.
Do objects lose mass as they fall due to mass energy equivalence?
No, because they do not gain energy in falling.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.
