*90. A skydiver is falling straight down, along the negative y di- rection. (a) During the initial part of the fall, her speed increases from 16 lo 28 m/s in 1.5 s, as in part a of the figure. (b) Later, her parachute opens, and her speed decreases from 48 to 26 m/s in 11 s, as in part b of the drawing. Concepts: (i) Is her average acceleration positive or negative when her speed is increasing in part a of the figure? (ii) Is her average acceleration positive or negative when her speed is decreasing in part b of the figure? Calculations: In both instances (parts a and b of the figure) determine the magnitude and direction of her average acceleration.
Could I have help with this average speed and velocity problem. I already know the answers"average velocity = 2.7 m/s due east, average speed = 8.0 m/s" but I need a detailed explanantion on how and why because I am not understanding and getting the same answers
True or false? An object with a large acceleration must have a large velocity. Acceleration describes what, with respect to velocity? Acceleration describes how fast or slow the velocity is changing. Is that related to the value of the velocity? Does it matter how big/small the velocity is? So is the statement true? Alternatively, for a true/false problem see if you can think of a counter-example.
