Terminal velocity - 1

Sky diver jumps out plane - weight is greater than air resistance so they will accelerate downwards

2
New cards

Terminal velocity - 2

The acceleration causes the air resistance to get bigger - only the weight is bigger than the air resistance

3
New cards

Terminal velocity - 3

As the skydiver goes further downwards the weight and air resistance become equal - terminal velocity

4
New cards

Terminal velocity - 4

When the terminal velocity is met the parachute is pulled - the air resistance becomes greater than gravity - the sky diver will decelerate

5
New cards

Terminal velocity - 5

After the parachute is open for a while the air resistance and gravity become equal so terminal velocity occurs

6
New cards

Terminal velocity - 6

The gravity pulls the skydiver down and an upward force is put on them - causing them to land, decelerate and stop
