I presume you mean 1 second after jumping from the plane. Since skydiver's fall, their velocity is generally in a downward direction, so the upward velocity is negative. The formula v = gt, where g is the acceleration due to gravity which is about 32.2 feet per second per second, tells us that after 1 second it would be about -32.2 feet per second.

How does velocity varies with the vertical distance traveled by the object?

When an object falls vertically downward, its velocity increases according to the following equation:2aS=vf2 - vi2 or ,2*10*S=v2, orv=(20S)1/2.There is a second case in which a body is thrown vertically upward, here its velocity decreases as it moves upward. Here its velocity becomes zero as it reaches the highest point


How long is a ballerina in the air if she leaps straight up with a speed of 1.0 meters per second?

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second2 .She moves upward until her upward velocity shrinks to Zero = 1/9.8 second.She then begins to move downward, and waits another 1/9.8 second beforeher foot again touches the floor.She is a projectile in a ballistic trajectory for 2/9.8 = 0.204 second. (rounded)


How do you convert metres per second to liters per second?

this cannot be answered metres per second is a velocity, units ms-1, litres per second is a volumetric flowrate, units dm3s-1 you would need the area through which the 'velocity' is flowing to answer that otherwise, litres is dm3 = m3 x 10-3


How fast is a stone moving when it reaches a height of 11 meters if it is vertically thrown upward with a speed of 18 meters per second?

v2 = u2 + 2as where v = current velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, and s = displacement. Taking a = - 9.8 ms-2 v2 = 182 - (9.8 x 11 x 2) = 108.4 v = 10.4 ms-1


How do you find distance with velocity and time?

Well its easiest to think of this in context.If Al was to travel at 1 meter per second for one second, he would have traveled 1 meter.How did we come about this? We multiplied the velocity (1 m/s) by the time (1 sec.) to get 1 meter. The unit of seconds cancel out of the velocity leaving us just with the distance.So to answer your question with a direct formula would be as follows:d = v * t
