Answer:
A) As her parachute opens, her acceleration is upwards.
Explanation:
The acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity.
Thus, if you have positive velocity and positive acceleration, your velocity increases
If you have positive velocity and negative acceleration, then your velocity decreases.
(The opposite happens when you have negative velocity).
Now, when the skydiver is falling, her velocity is downwards.
When she opens her parachute, her velocity downwards decreases.
This means that when she opens her parachute, she will have an acceleration in the opposite direction to her velocity, then at this point her acceleration is upwards.
We can conclude that the correct option is:
A) As her parachute opens, her acceleration is upwards.
