PHYS 2820 Final: PHYS 2820 Final Exam 2007 V2
Document Summary
Final exam - december 11, 9-11am, 40 marks. For this question, you will need to download the file "spring. dat" from the website. Plot the acceleration as a function of time: [5 marks] the mass of the oscillator is 1. 2 kg. Use linear regression to determine k along with an error estimate. This question involves modelling a skyjumper falling through the air. Initially, air resistance is very small, but upon deployment of a parachute, air drag suddenly increases to a large value. Plot the drag coefficient as a function of height (you may need to use plotrange to get a good plot). H* parameters *l m = 60; h* kg *l g = 9. 81; h* m s2 *l h = 1000; h* initial height in m *l. T = 80; h* estimate in s of how long it takes to reach the ground *l.
