Acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s/s, which is the same as 9.8m/s2. An acceleration of 9.8m/s/s means that with each passing second, the velocity of the skydiver increases by 9.8m/s. Therefore, after two seconds. a skydiver's velocity would be 19.6m/s. The acceleration will continue at 9.8m/s/s until the skydiver reaches terminal velocity, at which point the weight of the skydiver and the air resistance will be balanced, so the net force acting on the skydiver will be zero, at which point there will be no further acceleration.
The average velocity for the first 3 seconds of a skydiver's free fall would depend on the initial speed, air resistance, and gravitational acceleration, but generally, it could be around 55-60 m/s.
No, a skydiver's acceleration remains constant as they fall towards their terminal velocity. This is because terminal velocity is the point at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
We'll assume you mean 2 seconds AFTER he's jumped from the plane. A good estimate would be 9.8m/s times 2 (9.8m/s/s times 2 seconds -- the standard value of the acceleration due to gravity). In two seconds, the velocity would be low enough that air resistance could probably be ignored for purposes of answering your homework. So try 19.6 m/s, unless your teacher gave your data on the air resistance of the sky diver.
Skydivers reach terminal velocity because as they fall, the force of gravity pulling them downward is balanced by air resistance pushing upward. At terminal velocity, these forces are equal, so the skydiver stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
No, skydivers fall at different speeds depending on their body position and weight. However, experienced skydivers often aim for a terminal velocity of around 120 mph (193 km/h) to maximize their control and safety during freefall.

To calculate this, you divide the change in velocity, by the time.

The velocity of the car can be calculated using the formula: velocity = distance/time. In this case, the car travels 10 meters in 5 seconds, so the velocity is 10 meters ÷ 5 seconds = 2 meters per second. Therefore, the car's velocity is 2 m/s.

14.715 m/s. This is worked out by knowing that gravity will accelerate a body at 9.81 (m/s)/s. The average velocity is the speed at 3s plus the speed at 0s divided by 2. Speed at 0s = 0 x 9.81 = 0 m/s Speed at 3s = 3 x 9.81 = 29.43 m/s (29.43 + 0) / 2 = 14.715 m/s.
To calculate the braking time from 1.5 to 2 seconds, we need to know the initial velocity and the acceleration of the object. The final velocity can be determined using the formula: final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration * time). If we have this information, we can plug in the values to find the final velocity at 2 seconds.
Since the equation for time=sqrt(2h/g) set 2 seconds for time and 9.8 for gravity so 2=sqrt(2h/9.8) clear the sqrt by squaring both sides 4= 2h/9.8 9.8*4 =2h (9.8*4)/2 = height. now that you have the height, you can do v=distance/time v=height from the equation prior/2 seconds i hope that works..
