Explanation:
Terminal velocity is given by:
Here, m is the mass of the falling object, g is the gravitational acceleration, is the drag coefficient,
is the fluid density through which the object is falling, and A is the projected area of the object. in this case the projected area is given by:
Recall that drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver is equal to 1 and air density is .
Without drag contribution the motion of the person is an uniformly accelerated motion, thus:
Answer:
Choices A, B, and C are correct.
Explanation:
Let us look at each of the choices one by one:
A. It is a vector
Yes. Velocity is a vector, or it's a speed with direction.
B. It is the change in displacement divided by the change in time.
Yes. The velocity can be written as
where is the displacement—a vector quantity.
C. It can be measured in meters per second.
Yes. The units of velocity are m/s, but also with a unit vector indicating the direction.
D. It is the slope of the acceleration vs. time graph.
Nope. The velocity is the slope of displacement vs. time graph.
Hence, only choices A, B, and C are correct.
