Answer two questions from this section. Answer in the spaces provided.

Fig. 9.1 shows a sky-diver falling vertically.

Fig. 9.1

The sky-diver starts from rest at time t = o. His acceleration is non-uniform until he reaches a steady speed of 50m/s at t= 10s. He opens his parachute at t = 20 s and decelerates until t = 25 s. From t = 25 s he falls at a steady speed of 5 m Is.

(a) (i) On Fig. 9.2, draw the speed-time graph for the sky-diver. [4]
