Statement:
A skydiver jumps from a plane.
To find out:
The velocity with which he would be travelling after 1 second.
Solution:
- Initial velocity (vi) = 0 m/s [since he was at rest]
- Time (t) = 1 s
- Acceleration due to gravity (g) =
![10m {s}^( - 2)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/physics/high-school/c7f7az2mreq065xdkcwjjy0ys09w2fsb4e.png)
- Let the final velocity be vf.
- We know the equation of motion for a freely falling body, i.e.,
![vf = gt + vi](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/physics/high-school/vufx8lvw9dcxkbmcr1ro0l9csjkbrweofg.png)
- Putting the values in the above equation, we get
![vf = 10(1) + 0 \\ = > vf = 10 \: m {s}^( - 1)](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/physics/high-school/egju2h0h0oxkz3nicsb7epjr151th3pfj7.png)
Answer:
The skydiver will be travelling 10 m/s after 1 second.
