He will decelerate (meaning an acceleration in the direction opposite of current velocity) at a rate of (54 m/s - 4 m/s)/.75 seconds = 66.67 m/s2. This is about 6.8 Gs.

When skydiver slows down from 54 meters to 4 meters by opening his parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration?
the magnitude of the skydivers acceleration is zero as he is decelerating by opening his parachute!
A skydiver slows down from 65 ms to 5 ms by opening the parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the skydivers acceleration?
80 m/s2 up

What A skydiver slows down from 54 ms to 4 ms by opening his parachute this change takes 0.75 what is the skydiver acceleration?
If the 0.75 refers to seconds, then his acceleration is -66.66... (repeating) metres per second^2.
A skydiver slows down from 65 m s to 5 m s by opening the parachute If this takes 0.75 seconds what is the skydiver's acceleration?
The general formula for acceleration is [(final velocity) - (initial velocity)]/(time required for the change). In this instance, (5 - 65)/0.75 = -80 meters per second per second.

A skydiver slows down from 65 ms by opening the parachute if this takes 0.75 seconds what is the skydivers acceration?
To calculate this, you divide the change in velocity, by the time.
What effect would opening a parachute have on a skydiver's fall?
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.

A skydiver slows down from 54 ms to 4 ms by opening his parachute. if it takes 0.75 seconds what is the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration?
(4 m/s - 54 m/s)/0.75 s = -50/0.75 m/s² = -200/3 ≈ - 66.67 m/s² (negative because he is decelerating)
What is the skydiver's downward velocity?
Maximum speed is about 220 to 230mph and can be achieved after about 20 seconds of freefall. Normal parachute opening speed should be not greater that 120mph to avoid damage to the parachute
