(a)

Answer to Problem 7SP
The net force acting on the skydiver of weight
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The weight of the skydiver is
If the air resistive force will increases by
Write the net force acting on the skydiver.
Take
The only force acting downward is the gravitational force and force acting in the upward direction is the air resistive force.
Therefore substitute
Thus the net force is in the downward direction.
Conclusion:
Thus, the net force acting on the skydiver of weight
(b)
The acceleration of the diver at the velocity.
(b)

Answer to Problem 7SP
The acceleration of the diver at the velocity is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: The mass of the man is
Write the expression for the mass of the diver.
Here,
Substitute
Write the expression for the net force on the diver.
Here,
Rearrange the above equation to get
Substitute
Conclusion:
Thus, the acceleration of the diver at the velocity is
(c)
The terminal velocity of the skydiver.
(c)

Answer to Problem 7SP
The terminal velocity of the skydiver is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: increase in the air resistive force for every
The diver will attain terminal velocity if the upward force is equal to the weight of the diver.
The weight of the diver is
The increase in the air resistive force, for every
Therefore at this velocity upward force becomes
Conclusion:
Thus, the terminal velocity of the skydiver is
(d)
What would happen to the velocity of the skydiver if for some reason his velocity exceeded the terminal velocity?
(d)

Answer to Problem 7SP
This will cause wind burn due to increase in the frictional force and sudden change in velocity to the terminal velocity.
Explanation of Solution
Terminal velocity is the uniform velocity of falling body in a viscous medium if the upward force is equal to downward velocity.
If the velocity is exceeded the terminal velocity, it will cause increase in the resistive force and dissipation of energy in the form of heat occurs. This may create wind burn. This resistive for reduce the velocity to terminal velocity.
Conclusion:
Thus, exceeding velocity more than terminal velocity will cause wind burn due to increase in the frictional force and sudden change in velocity to the terminal velocity.
