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) =
- Let the final velocity be vf.
- We know the equation of motion for a freely falling body, i.e.,
- Putting the values in the above equation, we get
Answer:
The skydiver will be travelling 10 m/s after 1 second.
