A 520-g squirrel with a surface area of 900 cm^2 falls from a 5.6-m tree to the ground . Estimate it's 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 11.3 cm and length 22.6 cm . Note , the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground . Give the squirrels terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits the ground.) m/s what will be the velocity of a 52.0-kg person hitting the ground ,assuming no drag contribution in such a short distance? M/s
