If a skydiver reaches terminal speed after ten seconds will the skydiver gain more speed during the first second or the ninth second?

I would imagine that it is uniform acceleration up until terminal speed. However, wind resistance will be higher 10000 feet up, so acceleration may be less at the start

Is the skydiver increasing or decreasing his speed during the first 3 seconds?
Increasing.
How many seconds are there in 38 years from 1975?
There were 13880 days, including 10 days in leap years from 1975 to 2012. That makes 1,199,232,000 seconds. However, during this period there were 21 leap seconds, so the correct answer is 1,199,232,021 seconds.
During a winter storm an entire town lost power for 2.6 hours How many seconds is this?
2.6 hours = 2.6*60 minutes = 156 minutes = 156*60 seconds = 9360 seconds.
The amplitude of the pendulum?
The amplitude of a pendulum is the distance between its equilibrium point and the farthest point that it reaches during each oscillation.
How many seconds does it take for one million seconds to elapse?
Around 100. On Tuesdays and Fridays it can take anywhere from 120 to 200, and around double that during a solar eclipse.
A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity during this 5 second interval her acceleration?
the crate will reach terminal velocity last, but hit the ground frist.
A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity During this 5 second interval her acceleration will?
increase- your speed will increase until terminal velocity is reached. From there it will stay constant.
Is the skydiver increasing or decreasing his speed during the first 3 seconds?
Increasing.
What type of friction causes a sky diver's acceleration to change as he fall?
A sky diver is falling through a Fluid with a measurable viscosity. The fluid is AIR. Pushing air molecules out of the way, and having them rub along the body of the skydiver's clothing causes friction (heat). This resulting friction on a human sized body results in a terminal velocity of approximately 124 MPH (200 KPH).
When a skydiver has reached terminal speed what is the air resistance equal to?
Fnet=Fgravity-Fair resistance At terminal velocity Force Net = 0 during this time Fgravity = Fair resistance if you weight is 85kg Fgravity = Mass x G = 85x 9.8 = 833N your at terminal velocity when Air resistance is equal to 833 Newtons
What will happen if a parachutist opens its parachute before reaching its terminal velocity?
During free fall, the parachutist reaches a terminal velocity (a constant velocity) of somewhere between 120 and 180 miles per hour. (If you go feet first, you go faster than if you lie on your back or front). When the parachute opens (hopefully), the terminal speed is reduced to around 12 miles/hour.
How fast does a skydiver fall?
Speed during free fall can change depending on a skydiver's size and body orientation. In the belly to earth orientation, the speed is about 120 mph. If the skydiver is wearing a wing suit, their vertical speed could be as low as 60 to 70 mph. In a head down orientation, the speed can often be greater than 200 mph.
Why positive terminal of megger is grounded during IR measurement of electrical equipments?
during ir test we are grounding the positive terminal to avoid osmosis effect.
During a reflex the nerve impulse reaches?

Someone who drops from an aircraft by parachute?
Someone who drops from an aircraft by parachute is known as a skydiver or paratrooper. They were used extensively by the military during World War II.

During electroplating the item to be plated?
The item to be plated should be attached to the negative terminal of the battery.
