A paraglider started to descent in his wingsuit. Knowing that air resistance will be significant to make the paraglider to be safe, which of the following will happen to its acceleration and velocity vectors? - Acceleration decreases while velocity increases - Acceleration increases while velocity increases - Acceleration constant while velocity decreases - Acceleration increases while velocity decreases - 180 degrees b. This is a velocity vs. time plot of an airplane taking off. What is the orientation of the velocity vector and acceleration vector in this case? - Parallel - Perpendicular - Antiparallel - At an angle
