Don't copy that is wrong
Using the alternate form of Newton's second law, compute the force (in N) needed to accelerate a 1,170 kg car from 0 to 20 m/s in 14 s. The change in momentum is the car's momentum when traveling 20 m/s minus its momentum when going 0 m/s. (Enter the magnitude.)
A parachuter of mass 139 kg above Earth (g = 10 m/s2) experiences a drag force modeled by -0.04 v (N). If the parachuter is released from rest, how fast, in m/s, will the jumper be falling after 1,027 s? (Assume the parachuter doesn't reach the ground in this amount of time.)(I want the speed.)
(Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
