26. An 80.0-kg skydiver jumps out of a balloon at an alti- tude of 1 000 m and opens his parachute at an altitude of 200 m. (a) Assuming the total retarding force on the skydiver is constant at 50.0 N with the parachute closed and constant at 3 600 N with the parachute open, find the speed of the skydiver when he lands on the ground (b) Do you think the skydiver will be injured? Explain (c) At what height should the parachute be opened so that the final speed of the skvdiver when he hits the ground is 5.00 m/s? (d) How realistic is the assumption that the total retarding force is constant? Explain

A skier, starting from rest, moves from the top of a ramp to the bottom. If the vertical drop is 3.12 meters, what is the speed in m/s of the skateboarder at the bottom of the ramp. (neglect friction). Can you help with a visual aid; and then, explain the mechanics of calculation.

Suppose I need to toss an object of mass 5.2 up onto a shelf 5.94 meters above where my hands can reach. What is the minimum speed of toss necessary to do this? Your answer should be in meters per second, but don't write teh unit, just the number. You can approximate the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface as 10 meters per square second.

1 kg is released from height h, = 12 m. Its path is without 1) In Figure, a block with mass m = friction until it reaches the path with first length d,= 2 m, where the friction force between B and C is f = 8 N, and until it reaches the path, where the friction force between E and F is f, = 6 N. The height is h, = 1 m, and second horizontal length is d, = 1 m. The block continues its motion after the point F. |(a) Find the velocity at the point A. (b) Find the velocity at the point D.
