At the end of a roller coaster ride, the cars must slow to a stop, but the magnitude of the acceleration cannot exceed 1.3 g's. Given a car with a mass of 1,700 kg (including the passengers), what is the magnitude of the maximum allowable force (in N)?
(optional) A skydiver is weighted 72.7 kg, together with his parachute. The acceleration of gravity is 9.80 m/sec². The air resistance force f to the parachute is proportional to the square of velocity, f = bv², with b = 30.0 Nt sec²/m². Find the expression for his falling speed and the numerical value for his landing speed. When he opens the parachute at t = 0, his falling speed is 10 m/s.
When a parachute opens, the air exerts a large drag force on it. This upward force is initially greater than the weight of the sky diver and, thus, slows him down. Suppose the weight of the sky diver is 965 N and the drag force has a magnitude of 1016 N. The mass of the sky diver is 98.5 kg. Take upward to be the positive direction. What is his acceleration, including sign?
