draw and label arrows indicating the velocity and acceleration of the skydivers.
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Understand velocity concept
Velocity is a vector showing direction of motion. For skydivers, it is initially downward. Draw a downward - pointing arrow from the center of a skydiver's body and label it "v" for velocity.
Step2: Understand acceleration concept
Before the parachute opens, acceleration due to gravity is downward. After parachute opens, air - resistance causes an upward acceleration. Draw an arrow from the center of the skydiver's body. If parachute is not open, the arrow is downward and labeled "a" for acceleration. If parachute is open, the arrow is upward and labeled "a".
Answer:
Draw a downward - pointing arrow labeled "v" for velocity from the center of each skydiver's body. Before parachute opens, draw a downward - pointing arrow labeled "a" for acceleration from the center of the skydiver's body. After parachute opens, draw an upward - pointing arrow labeled "a" for acceleration from the center of the skydiver's body.
