Please Help A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter, so there is no forward velocity. Use this information to answer questions. Ignore wind resistance for this exercise.
3. What is the skydiver's velocity after one second? Show your work and include direction.

The velocity and direction after 1 second is 8.1 m/s downwards

Explanation:

The equation of motion for an object in free fall can be written as follows;

v = u + g×t

Where;

v = The final velocity of the object

u = The initial velocity of the object = 0 m/s

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

The velocity after one second is given by the velocity equation as follows;

v = 0 + 9.81 m/s² * 1 s = 9.81 m/s

The direction of the is downwards due to the attraction by the Earth's gravitational field which acts towards the Earth's center

Therefore, the velocity and direction after 1 second is 8.1 m/s downwards.

0.19 m/s and 0.45 m/s
