Asked by Robert

If a skydiver has a forward velocity of 40 m/s, what is the forward velocity after one second?
What is the downward velocity after one second?

Answered by Damon
There is no horizontal force (ignoring air friction) so the horizontal velocity remains 40 m/s

In the vertical direction there will be acceleration down of about 9.81 m/s
If the original vertical speed was zero, after one second it will be 9.81 t = 9.81 m/s down
