A skydiver is falling straight down, along the negative y direction. (a) During the initial part (part a of the figure) of the fall, her speed increases from 18.0 m/s to 29.0 m/s in 1.50 s, as in part a of the figure. (b) Later (part b of the figure), her parachute opens, and her speed decreases from 49.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s in 11.0 s, as in part b of the drawing. In both instances (parts a and b of the figure) determine the magnitude and direction (include sign) of her average acceleration. (a)
