A skydiver of mass m =60 kg jumps out of an airplane. At some moment before the5.parachute opens, while falling in a spread-eagle formation, her instantaneous velocityis =(0,-20,0) m/s. (The coordinate system is one for which skyward is the +ydirection.) What is the acceleration (a vector) of the skydiver at that moment? Includeair drag in your calculation. Put your numerical vector answer in component form.Constants: In this formation her drag coefficient is C = 1.0. Her area that "catches"the air is A 1.5 m2. The density of air is p= 1.22 kg/m³.]

We will use newton's law to solve this problem. We will first find the drag force, which is given…

Falcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2. Suppose the falcon weighs 8.0 N and is turning with an acceleration of 15 m/s2 at the lowest point of the arc. What is the magnitude of the upward lift force at this instant?A. 8.0 N B. 12 NC. 16 N D. 20 N
