person starts from rest and jumps straight up in the air. After they leave the ground and they are on their way up, the net acceleration ____________.
Added by Thomas M.
Step 1
This means they initially have zero velocity and then gain an upward velocity due to the force exerted during the jump. Show more…

A parachutist drops first freely from an aeroplane for 10s and then his parachute opens out. Now he descends with a net retardation of 2.5ms−2. If he bails out of the plane at a height of 2495m and g=10ms−2, his velocity on reaching the ground will be

A skydiver jumps out of an airplane. Her speed steadily increases until she deploys her parachute, at which point her speed quickly decreases. She subsequently falls to earth at a constant rate, stopping when she lands on the ground.

A skydiver is falling straight down in the spread-eagle position and reaches his terminal speed. The skydiver then pulls his arms to his side, puts his feet together, and angles his head downwards. What happens? The skydiver will stop. The skydiver will speed up. The skydiver will continue to fall at the same speed. The skydiver will start going up. The skydiver will slow down.
