A seasoned parachutist went for a skydiving trip where he performed freefall before deploying
the parachute. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, there are two forcës acting on
the body of the parachutist, the forces of gravity (F,) and drag force due to air resistance (Fa)
as shown in Figure 1.

where x(t) is the position of the parachutist from the ground at given time, t is the time of fall
calculated from the start of jump, m is the parachutist's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration,
v is the velocity of the fall and c is the drag coefficient. The equation for the velocity and the

Where x(0) = 3200 m, m = 79.8 kg, g = 9.81m/s² and c = 6.6 kg/s. It was established that the

After a mass weighing 8 pounds is attached to a 5-foot spring, the springmeasures 6.6 feet. The entire system is placed in a medium that offersa damping constant of one.Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 6inches above the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of1 ft/sec
Consider a spring-mass system that has a 15 kg mass, a damping coefficient of 45 N/m², and a
spring that, when stretched 0.4 m, imposes a force of 12 N.
a.) Explain why the spring constant is 30 N/m.
45
b.) These values lead to the equation, y + 15y + 3y = 0, assuming no forcing function is present.
Solve for the position as a function of time by using an appropriate guess. Be sure to show all work.
(You can round to two decimal places, e.g., 94.3453 = 94.35)
c.) Now, suppose we incorporate a forcing function of e-2t, such that our equation becomes
y" + 3y + 2y = e 2t. We might imagine our particular guess to be of the form ae 2t, however, it
will not work in this case. So, use a guess of the form ypat e 2t. With this, apply the Linearity
Principle to find the general solution to this nonhomogeneous ODE.

- It may surprise you to learn that the collision of baseball and bat lasts only about a thou- sandth of a second. Here we calculate the average force on the bat during this collision by first computing the change in the ball's momentum. The momentum p of an object is the product of its mass m and its velocity v, that is, p = mv. Suppose an object, moving along a straight line, is acted on by a force F = F(t) that is a continuous function of time. (a) Show that the change in momentum over a time interval [to, t1] is equal to the integral of F from to to t1; that is, show that p(t) – p(to) = |" F(t) dt This integral is called the impulse of the force over the time interval. (b) A pitcher throws a 90-mi/h fastball to a batter, who hits a line drive directly back to the pitcher. The ball is in contact with the bat for 0.001 s and leaves the bat with velocity 110 mi/h.

- An object of mass m moves at a constant speed v in a circular path of radius r. The force required to produce the centripetal component of acceleration is called the centripetal force and is given by F = mv2/r. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation is given by F = GMm/d2, where d is the distance between the centers of the two bodies of masses M and m, and G is a gravitational constant. The speed required for circular motion is v = √ GM/r. Use the result above to find the speed necessary for the given circular orbit around Earth. Let GM = 9.56 x 104 cubic miles per second per second, and assume the radius of Earth is 4000 miles. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
