Q70

Which one among the following diagrams may correctly represent the motion of a skydiver during a jump ?

  1. (a) Option (a)Correct answer
  2. (b) Option (b)
  3. (c) Option (c)
  4. (d) Option (d)

Solution.

Answer: (a) Option (a)

  1. A falling skydiver first speeds up toward a high terminal speed.
  2. Opening the parachute sharply increases drag, causing the speed to fall toward a much lower terminal value.
  3. Graph (a) best represents this sequence; the drawing is schematic, not an exact acceleration curve.
