A skydiver jumps from a stationary hot-air balloon. She falls vertically through the air, eventually reaching her terminal velocity.
Which row in the table correctly describes her acceleration at the start of the jump and once she has reached terminal velocity? (Let g g\,g be the acceleration due to gravity, and neglect the buoyant force of the air.)
| Initial acceleration | Final acceleration | |
|---|---|---|
| A | 0 | 0 |
| B | 0 | ggg |
| C | ggg | 0 |
| D | ggg | ggg |
