A parachutist jumps out of an aircraft and some time later opens the
parachute. His speed at time t (in seconds) from when the parachute
opens (t = 0) is
in m/s. Give your answers to the following questions correct to 2
decimal places.
(a) What is the parachutist's speed when the parachute opens?
(b)
(c)
v = 8+22e-0.07t
(d)
(e)
(f)
What is his speed after 60 seconds?
Find the value of t when the parachutist is travelling at 20 m/s.
Find a(t), the acceleration of the parachutist.
Find the acceleration when the parachute opens.
Sketch the graphs of v(t) and a(t) on separate graphs.
(g) From your graph of v(t) from part (f), what will be the speed of the
parachutist when he lands on the ground?
