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.
What do you call a person who jumps from a plane with a parachute?
A paratrooper? Either that or SkyDiver
If a skydiver jumps out of a plane which force is greater gravity or air resistance?
Gravity
What happens to a skydiver before they open their parachute?
They jump out of the plane and accelerate to terminal velocity.
A sentence with the word altitude?
After take-off a plane climbs to a safe altitude before leveling off.
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".
Four friends go skydiving Jane jumps after Fred Tim jumps firstMary jumps before Janebut after Fred In what order did they leave the plane?
Tim,Fred,Mary,Jane
How do you use altitude in a sentence?
The building is at a high altitudeAfter take-off a plane climbs to a safe altitude before leveling off.
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.
What does Geronimo scream when he jumps out of a plane?
MEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee!
How do you call the person who jumps from a plane?
A parachutist or parachute jumper voluntarily jumps from a plane. A non-voluntary jumper would be a victim of foul play.
When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft what is the planes angle of elevation as it rises?
When a plane takes off it travels for a horizontal distance of 1400 ft before reaching its maximum altitude of 50000 ft; the plane's angle of elevation as it rises would be 86 degrees.
