A paratrooper id dropped from an airplane. After some time his parachute opens and he reaches the ground with almost zero speed. This speed of fall (v) versus time (t) grapg will look like :

A

.

B

.

C

.

D

.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Initial velocity is zero, till the parachute opens there is constant acceleration in downward direction and as the parachute opens there is constant deceleration and finally valocity becomes zero.
