Motion — practice question

Fig. 1.1 presents the distance-time graph for a skydiver who exits a balloon at time $t = 0$.
(a(i))[2]

Describe the skydiver's motion from $t = 0$ to $t = 20\,\text{s}$.

(a(ii))[3]

Explain the motion of the skydiver from $t = 0$ to $t = 20\,\text{s}$ in terms of the forces acting on him.

(b)[3]

Using Fig. 1.1, determine the terminal velocity of the skydiver. On Fig. 1.1, show any values used for your calculation.
