A 60.0-kg and a 90.0-kg skydiver jump from an airplane at an altitude of 6.00*10^3 , both falling in the pike position. Make some assumption on their frontal areas and calculate their terminal velocities. How long will it take for each skydiver to reach the ground (assuming the time to reach terminal velocity is small)? Assume all values are accurate to three significant digits. Use Drag Coefficient 1.21kg/m^3 and frontal Arear of skydiver of 0.140m^2.

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.)...
