Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 4P
For the free-falling parachutist with linear drag, assume a first jumper is 70 kg and has a drag coefficient of 12 kg/s. If a second jumper has a drag coefficient of 15 kg/s and a mass of 80 kg, how long will it take him to reach the same velocity the first jumper reached in 9 s?

Mr. Calex left his phone on the top
floor of Andrew Building.
Unfortunately, the elevators are
under repair, so he must take the
stairs up. He climbs the stairs at a
constant velocity of 0.25 m/s, then
goes down at a constant O.5 m/s. In
total, it took him 540 seconds to run
up the building and run back down.
How many meters tall is Andrew
Building?
Suppose that an object is dropped from a height h. Its velocity v at impact with the ground is given by the square root of twice the product of the acceleration due to gravity g and the height h. Write a model to represent the velocity of the object at impact.
