To calculate the speed at which the skydiver will be falling after 10 seconds, we need to consider the effect of gravity and neglect air resistance.
The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s^2) near the Earth's surface. This means that every second, the speed of the falling object increases by 9.8 m/s.
Using this information, we can calculate the speed of the skydiver after 10 seconds:
Speed = Acceleration due to gravity * Time
Speed = 9.8 m/s^2 * 10 s
Speed = 98 m/s
Therefore, the skydiver will be falling at a speed of 98 meters per second after 10 seconds.
