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".
What else can I help you with?
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.
What do you call a person who jumps from a plane with a parachute?
A paratrooper? Either that or SkyDiver
What altitude does a plane reach before a skydiver jumps?
Typically, a plane reaches an altitude of around 10,000 to 15,000 feet before a skydiver jumps. This height allows for a safe freefall duration and adequate time for the parachute to deploy. Some experienced skydivers may jump from higher altitudes, such as 18,000 feet or more, to extend their freefall experience.
What shape what is the displacement versus time for the skydiver be?
The shape of the displacement versus time graph for a skydiver would be a curve that starts at zero displacement when the skydiver jumps out of the plane, increases as the skydiver falls accelerating due to gravity, and eventually levels off as the skydiver reaches terminal velocity. The curve will then be a straight line at a constant displacement representing the terminal velocity until the skydiver opens the parachute, at which point the displacement will decrease as the skydiver slows down and lands.
What example of air resistance force?
An example of air resistance force is when a skydiver jumps out of a plane and experiences the force pushing against them as they fall through the air. This force acts in the opposite direction to the skydiver's motion and increases as their speed increases.
What is an example of air resistance force?
An example of air resistance force is when a skydiver jumps out of a plane and experiences the force of air pushing against their body as they fall through the atmosphere. This force increases with the speed of the skydiver and can impact their descent speed and trajectory.
If a skydiver jumps out of a plane which force is greater gravity or air resistance?
Initially, gravity is greater than air resistance, causing the skydiver to accelerate downwards. As the skydiver picks up speed, air resistance increases until it eventually balances out with gravity, leading to a constant speed called terminal velocity.
What energy is used when skydiving?
Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when skydiving. As the skydiver jumps from the plane, they have a high potential energy due to their height above the ground. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy as the skydiver accelerates towards the ground.
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 is a good example of air resistance?
A good example of air resistance is when a skydiver jumps out of a plane and feels the force of the air pushing against their body as they fall. This force slows down their descent and creates drag.
When the skydiver steps out of the helicopter someone who's watching starts a stopwatch. So the time is zero as the skydiver steps out of the plane. What is the skydiver's downward velocity at that?
At the moment the skydiver exits the helicopter, their downward velocity is initially zero. As they fall due to gravity, their velocity will increase over time.
What happens to a skydiver before they open their parachute?
They jump out of the plane and accelerate to terminal velocity.
