A 565-g squirrel with a surface area of 860 cm2 falls from a 6.0-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the cross-sectional area of the squirrel can be approximated as a rectangle of width 11.1 cm and length 22.2 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground.

A 70 kg bicyclist is riding her 15 kg bicycle downhill on a road with a slope of 80without pedaling or braking. The bicyclist has a frontal area of 0.45 m2and a dragcoefficient of 1.1 in the upright position, and a frontal area of 0.4 m2and a dragcoefficient of 0.9 in a racing position. If the downhill speed of the bicyclist(terminal velocity) can be determined when the total force acting on the “body” inthe direction of movement is equal to zero, determine the percentage of downspeed that she can be increased when she is in a racing position. Air temperatureis 150C and disregarding the rolling resistance and friction at the bearing.
An airplane in flight is subject to an air resistance force proportional to the square of its speed v. But there is an additional resistive force because the airplane has wings. Air flowing over the wings is pushed down and slightly forward, so from Newton’s third law the air exerts a force on the wings and airplane that is up and slightly backward. The upward force is the lift force that keeps the airplane aloft, and the backward force is called induced drag. At flying speeds, induced drag is inversely proportional to v 2 , so that the total air resistance force can be expressed by Fair = av2 + b/v2 where a and b are positive constants that depend on the shape and size of the airplane and the density of the air. For a Cessna 150, a small single-engine airplane, a = 0.30 N.s2 /m2 and b = 3.5×105 N.m2 /s 2 . In steady flight, the engine must provide a forward force that exactly balances the air resistance force. 1. Calculate the speed (in km/h) at which this airplane will have the…
