8 11 A skydiver made a skydive from a plane. (Source: © Sky Antonio/Shutterstock) The graph shows how the velocity v of the skydiver varied with time t, from the instant she left the plane to the instant just before the parachute opened. 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 12.0 14.0 16.0 v / m s–1 t / s Turn over 9 (a) Determine the acceleration of the skydiver when t = 4.0 s.
