Question
You are about to perform your first skydive session. The plane is cruising at an
altitude of 3000 meters above sea level. At about 1800 meters, the parachute
will be deployed. To distract yourself, you'd like to know how long you will be
falling just before the parachutes are deployed and curious your final velocity
just before the parachutes open. Assume terminal velocity and air resistance to
be negligible. Use g=9.81 m/s^2. Choose the correct answer below. *
15.6 seconds and 153.4 m/s
O 10.8 seconds and 101.6 m/s
O 16.8 seconds and 160.3 m/s
O 14.2 seconds and 150.1 m/s
