Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 11P
A sky diver with a mass of 70 kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on the sky diver is known to be FD = kV2, where k = 0.25 N·s2/m2. Determine the maximum speed of free fall for the sky diver and the speed reached after 100 m of fall. Plot the speed of the sky diver as a function of time and as a function of distance fallen.

Most of you have seen car advertisements where the car manufacturerbrags about how fast one of its cars can go from 0 to 100 km/h. Accordingto the manufacturer, the BMW 750iL model can go from 0 to 100 km/h in6.7 seconds. This performance is usually measured on a test track. The engine in the car is rated at 243 kW at 5000 rpm. The car has a reported weight of 23 kN . Is the claim by the manufacturer justifiable? Well, to answer this question you may agree it would be more fun to drive toa BMW dealership and take the car for a test run on a racing track. But let us answer this question with the knowledge you have gained so far in this course. We need to make some assumptions first; we can assume that the driver weighs 900 N and the reported weight of the car includes enough gasoline for this test. Next, we convert the speed and the mass values into appropriate units.
A child keeps a 0.5 kg toy airplane flying horizontally in a circle by holding onto a 1.5 m long string
attached to its wing tip. The string is always in the plane of the circular flight path. If the plane flies
at 10 m/s, what is the tension in the string?
33 N
O 3.5 N
O 7.5 N
O 28 N
