An object of mass 20 kg is released from rest and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assume that the force in Newtons due to air resistance is -28v where v is the velocity of the object in m/s. If it is initially dropped from a height of 800 meters, approximately how long will it take to reach the ground? Use x (t) as the distance below the point from where it was dropped.

A child shot a toy gun at a target right over his head. If the child does not hit anything and the bullet has an initial velocity of 65.0 m/s, (a) where will the bullet be after 5.20 seconds? (b) What is the bullet's velocity after 5.20 seconds?
A bottle dropped from a balloon reaches the ground in 50.0 s. What was the height, in meters, of the balloon above the ground, if it was ascending with a speed of 20.0 m/s when the bottle was dropped? [Neglect air resistance. Assume g = 9.80 m/s2] [Answer with 4 significant figures]
A woman bails out of an airplane at an altitude of 11,000 ft, falls freely for 15 s, then opens her parachute. How long will it take her to reach the ground? Assume linear air resistance v ft/s, taking p= 0.15 without the parachute and p= 1.5 with the parachute. (Suggestion: First determine her height above the ground and velocity when the parachute opens.) It will take her seconds to reach the ground. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
A woman bails out of an airplane at an altitude of 11,000 ft, falls freely for 25 s, then opens her parachute. How long will it take her to reach the ground? Assume linear air resistance v ft/s², taking p = 0.13 without the parachute and p = 1.3 with the parachute. (Suggestion: First determine her height above the ground and velocity when the parachute opens.) It will take her seconds to reach the ground. (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)
The leaning tower of Pisa is 57 m tall. Supposedly Galileo investigated the behavior of falling objects by dropping them from the top of this tower and timing their descent. How long would it take an object to fall 57 m if air effects are negligible? Express your answer in 2 decimal places and in seconds.
Problem 2: A 165 lb skydiver jumps off from a plane at a height 10,000 ft. In the first 30 seconds, the drag force due to air resistance is 2v. Use g = 32 ft/s'. (A) What is the differential equation (as an explicit derivative) that describes the motion of the skydiver? (B) what is the velocity of the skydiver after the first 10 seconds? (C) What is his altitude at that instant of time? After the first 30 seconds, the parachute is released to increase the drag force. If this time, the drag force is proportional to the square of the velocity, (D) find an expression for the velocity at any time t after the initial 30 seconds, assuming the same value of k. It's alright if your answer is in implicit form.
A steel ball weighing 2 lb is dropped from a height of 3000 ft with no velocity.
