In the drop zone. Consider a skydiver who jumps from an airplane. Suppose she waits for 1 min before opening her parachute and she lands 4 min after leaving the airplane. Draw qualitative plots of the position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time for the skydiver, starting from the time she jumps from the plane, assuming (somewhat unrealistically) that she falls straight down. Here, the position y is her vertical height above the ground. Be sure to indicate the time at which she opens the parachute. Hint: Consider how the velocity will vary with time after the chute is open for a long time.
