When a skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter with forward velocity, the skydiver's initial velocity will be a combination of the helicopter's forward velocity and the vertical velocity due to gravity. As the skydiver falls, their acceleration is primarily due to gravity acting downward, with air resistance also playing a role. The acceleration experienced by the skydiver will be constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2 downward, ignoring air resistance.
