If an average-size man jumps from an airplane with an open parachute, his downward velocity t seconds into the fall is v(t) = 20(10.2) feet per second. (a) Use functional notation to express the velocity 3 seconds into the fall. Calculate it. ft per sec (b) Explain how the velocity increases with time. Include in your explanation the average rate of change from the beginning of the fall to the end of the first second and the average rate of " change from the fourth second to the fifth second of the fall. This answer has not been graded yet. (c)-Find the terminal velocity. ft per sec (d) Compare the time it takes to reach 99% of terminal velocity here with the 25 seconds it took a skydiver with his parachute closed to reach 99% of terminal velocity in Example 2.1.
