When a skydiver jumps out of the plane, his velocity increases linearly in time before reaching the terminal value. After that, the skydiver falls vertically at the constant speed 21 m/s along a straight line. How much power dissipates by the air drag force in the form of heat if the skydiver's mass is 75 kg?

A 55 kg child is swinging on a swing with length 4.0 m. When the child stops at the top of its motion, the swing makes an angle of 60.° from vertical. Calculate the speed of the child at the bottom of the swing. Assume no thermal energy is created.
In the figure, a 4.2 kg block is accelerated from rest by a compressed spring of spring constant 650 N/m. The block leaves the spring at the spring's relaxed length and then travels over a horizontal floor with a coefficient of kinetic friction k = 0.229. The frictional force stops the block in distance D = 8.3 m. What are (a) the increase in the thermal energy of the block-floor system, (b) the maximum kinetic energy of the block, and (c) the original compression distance of the spring? - No friction (a) Number i Units (b) Number Units (c) Number i Units > > >

Similar to the previous problem, we heat about a cup (230 g) of milk (we'll treat it like water, with a specific heat of 4186 J/kg °C) from refrigerator temperature (5.2 °C) to a comfortable drinking temperature (52.5 °C) in order to make a cup of hot chocolate. First, find the energy required to heat this milk. Next, imagine giving a 1,600 kg truck this same amount of kinetic energy. What speed (in m/s) will the truck be travelling?

A rubber ball, with a mass of 40.0 grams is dropped from rest from a height of 1.20 m above the floor. It hits the floor, and then reaches a maximum height of 80.0 cm when it comes back up again. In this problem, use g = 10.0 m/s2. (a) The collision with the floor causes some mechanical energy to be lost (this energy generally ends up as thermal energy). How much mechanical energy is lost in this case? (b) What is the ball's speed, just as it leaves the floor on its way up? m/s (c) What is the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the ball for the entire time it is in contact with the floor? kg • m/s
