A skydiver jumps from a helicopter at a great height and falls vertically. Under the influence of gravity and air resistance, the skydiver eventually reaches a constant terminal velocity. Let g g\,g be the acceleration due to gravity. Which of the following options correctly identifies the magnitude of the skydiver's acceleration immediately after release, and the magnitude of the acceleration when terminal velocity has been reached?
Initial acceleration is 000, terminal acceleration is ggg.
Initial acceleration is ggg, terminal acceleration is 000.
Initial acceleration is ggg, terminal acceleration is ggg.
Initial acceleration is 000, terminal acceleration is 000.
