. a. Consider two parachutists, a heavy person and a light person, who jump from the same altitude with parachutes of the same size.
Which person reaches terminal speed first?

If there were no air resistance, as on the moon, how would your answers to these questions differ?
Falcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2.
At the bottom of the arc, as shown, what is the direction of the net force on the falcon?A. To the left, opposite the motionB. To the right, in the direction of the motionC. UpD. DownE. The net force is zero.

- Falcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2. Suppose the falcon weighs 8.0 N and is turning with an acceleration of 15 m/s2 at the lowest point of the arc. What is the magnitude of the upward lift force at this instant?A. 8.0 N B. 12 NC. 16 N D. 20 Narrow_forwardA tourist looks up at a tall obelisk and desires to determine the height of this object. He estimates that he is 278 meters from the base of the obelisk and the angle from the horizontal is 52.1 degrees. At that moment, a bird drops a twig from the top of the obelisk.
