Use Newton's Laws to describe how inertia, gravity, and air resistance affect sky divers as they fall, open their parachutes, and reach terminal velocity.

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
