A paratrooper? Either that or SkyDiver
If a skydiver jumps out of a plane which force is greater gravity or air resistance?
Gravity
A 950 N skydiver jumps from an altitude of 3000 m what is the total work performed on the skydiver?
Work is the force times distance, so the answer is 2,850,000 joules.
A 950-N skydiver jumps from an altitude of 3000 m. What is the total work performed on the skydiver?
Work is the force times distance, so the answer is 2,850,000 joules.

2,940,000 Joules
Why won't a skydiver's speed continue to increase until his or her parachute opens?
Once a skydiver jumps off the plane, they will begin picking up speed. However, as the speed of the skydiver increases, the amount of air resistance acting upon them will also increase. The skydiver will continue to accelerate while his or her weight is greater than the air resistance. When the force of the air resistance becomes equal to the weight of the skydiver, the skydiver will stop accelerating and will continue falling at a constant speed, this is known as the terminal velocity. While travelling at terminal velocity, the skydiver will be able to adjust his or her body position in a way that will increase or decrease the air resistance and allow the diver to alter their speed. Releasing his or her parachute will drastically increase the amount of air resistance and therefore slow their descent significantly.
How far above the ground is the sky diver when he opens his parachute A skydiver jumps from an airplane 1000.0 m above the ground He waits for 8.0 s and the opens his parachute?
1/2 g t2. 1/2 x 9.81m/s2 x 64 9.81 x 32 313.92m. 1000-313.92=686.08
A skydiver jumps from a plane at an altitude of 7000 feet What is the approximate altitude of the diver after fifteen seconds of free fall?
For the average skydiver, the first 15 seconds would cover 2,000 feet. So jumping from 7,000 feet would put him at 5,000 feet in 15 seconds.

When a skydiver jumps from a plane he is in a condition known as what?
Panic?Terror?Exhilaration?No, "FREE-FALL". Although one or more of the first three are likely, as well.By the way; a skydiver is only in freefall for about a second after the jump. After that, the air resistance of his body begins to slow him down until he reaches "terminal velocity".
