Chapter 1, Problem 5P

Compute the velocity of a free-falling parachutist using Euler's method for the case where m = 80 kg and c = 10 kg/s. Perform the calculation from t = 0 to 20 s with a step size of 1 s. Use an initial condition that the parachutist has an upward velocity of 20 m/s at t = 0 . At t = 10 s, assume that the chute is instantaneously deployed so that the drag coefficient jumps to 60 kg/s

A spaceship is moving in a straight line at 36,000 miles per socond. Suddenly it accelerates at a(t) = 18t miles per second squared. Assume that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second and that relativistic effects do not influence the velocity of the spaceship. How long does it take the ship to reach the speed of light and how far does it travel during that time?
