A skydiver of mass 80.0 kg (including parachute) jumps off a plane and begins her descent. Throughout this problem use 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
 
(A) At some point during her free fall, the skydiver reaches her terminal speed. What is the magnitude of the drag force Fdrag due to air resistance that acts on the skydiver when she has reached terminal speed?
 
(B) For an object falling through air at a high speed v, the drag force acting on it due to air resistance can be expressed as
 
F=Kv2
 
where the coefficient K depends on the shape and size of the falling object and on the density of air. For a human body, the numerical value for K is about 0.250 kg/m .
 
Using this value for K, what is the terminal speed vterminal of the skydiver?
 
(C) When the skydiver descends to a certain height above the ground, she deploys her parachute to ensure a safe landing. Usually, the parachute is deployed when the skydiver reaches an altitude of about 900 m (3000 ft). Immediately after deploying the parachute, does the skydiver have a nonzero acceleration?
 
(D) When the parachute is fully open, the effective drag coefficient of the skydiver plus the parachute increases to 60.0 kg/m. What is the drag force Fdrag acting on the skydiver immediately after she has opened the parachute?
 
(E) What is the terminal speed vterminal of the skydiver when the parachute is opened?

Two skydivers were in free fall until they reached terminalvelocity of 115 miles per hour (due to air resistance) at 1.542kilometers above the surface of the Earth. Just before they reachedan altitude of 1km, they realize Suzie brought her backpack withher Physics book instead of her parachute. Shane maneuvers towardsSuzie at 0.5m/s to allow her to share his parachute.
Assume the weight of Shane and Suzie is given for sea level.
Assume that gravitational attraction is not height dependent.

B.) At an altitude of 0.5km, Shane opens his chute while Suziehangs on. Their velocity slows
to 15 feet per second. How much total time will their trip fromwhen they reached terminal
velocity to the time they reach the ground safely take?

A parachutist of mass 50.0kg jumps out of an airplane at a height of 1000m. The parachute deploys and she lands on the ground with a speed of 5.0m/s. How much energy was lost to air friction during the jump?
