As the skydiver moves downward with a speed v, the air drag exerted by the parachute on the skydiver has a magnitude Fa = Cav² (Cd is a drag coefficient) and a direction op- posite to the direction of motion. Determine the expression of the skydiver's acceleration in terms of C, v, the mass of the skydiver m, and the acceleration due to gravity.

Q1 A balloon is rising vertically above a level, straight road at a constant rate of 1 ft sec. Just when the balloon is 65 ft above the ground, a bicycle moving at a constant rate of 17 ft sec passes under it. How fast is the distance s(t) between the bicycle anoballoon increasing 3 sec later?
The figure below shows a diver going through general motion. The diver's center of gravity can be assumed to undergo a projectile motion. Assume that the diver takes off from a diving board such that his center of gravity is a height ho = 11m above the water level and enters the water at a horizontal distance 1 = 4m from the end of the board. If the total time the diver remains in the air is t2 = 2.3s, calculate the speed, vo, and angle of takeoff ,O, of the diver's center of gravity. Also determine the height, hi, the diver reaches at the top of the dive. (Note that tr is NOT half of t2.)

The pressure altimeter is an aneroid barometer that measures the pressure of the atmosphere at the level where the altimeter is located. Consider a jet airliner moving at 447 mph in a direction 60 degrees cast of north, has a speed relative to the ground of 503 mph due east. Recall from physics I that a plane has both an absolute speod relative to the ground, and a speed relative to the air. The values are different in the presence of wind. Draw a cartesian vector diagram of the jet, both with respect to the Earth and ait. a) Caleulate thex and y components of the geostrophic wind the plane is flying in. Use 3 sig figs for all. b) If the pilot simply flies along the pressure surface, calculate the rate of change in altitude of the plane using the characteristic Coriolis parameter defined in clas Vg x: type your answer.
