A skydiver is at an altitude of 1,525 m. After 11.0 seconds of
free fall, he opens his parachute and finds that the air
resistance, FD, is given by the formula
FD = −bv, where b is a
constant and v is the velocity. If b = 100,and
the mass of the skydiver is 86.0 kg, first set up differential
equations for the velocity and the position, and then find the
following. (Assume air resistance is negligible prior to the...

A 510-g squirrel with a surface area of 905 cm2 falls from a
4.4-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the
drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the
squirrel can be approximated as a rectangular prism with
cross-sectional area of width 11.4 cm and length 22.8 cm. Note, the
squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the
ground. Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as
it hits the ground.)...

A student sits on a rotating stool holding two 6.0 kg k g
objects. When his arms are extended horizontally, the objects are
1.3 m m from the axis of rotation and he rotates with an angular
speed of 2.7 rad/s r a d / s . The moment of inertia of the student
plus stool is 3.3 kg⋅m2 k g ⋅ m 2 and is assumed to be constant.If

A skateboarder with his board can be modeled as a particle of
mass 79.0 kg, located at his center of mass, 0.500 m above the
ground. As shown below, the skateboarder starts from rest in a
crouching position at one lip of a half-pipe (point circled A). The
half-pipe forms one half of a cylinder of radius 6.20 m with its
axis horizontal. On his descent, the skateboarder moves without
friction and maintains his crouch so that his center of...

A man (mass 114 kg) runs with speed 5.7 m/s along level ground.
His boots (which were already included in his total mass) have a
mass of 640 g, and a specific heat of 1200 J/(kg K). His boots are
initially at a temperture of 12°C.
He slides to a halt converting all of his mechanical energy into
thermal energy. Assuming all of the thermal energy is absorbed by
his boots, what is the temperature of his boots after sliding...
