(a)
The terminal velocity of the person with parachute.

Answer to Problem 55QAP
The terminal velocity of the person with parachute is 6.17m s-1
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of the person
- 70.0 kg
Proportionality constant value
- 12.0 ms−1
Formula used:
Newton's second law - F=ma ( Used considering the vertical axis)
Fdrag on person +(−Wperson)=0
Fdrag=cv2
Calculation:
Fdrag on person +(−Wperson)=0For terminal velocitycv2terminal−(mg)=0
To increase the velocity to 20.0 ms−1.
Fdrag on person +(−Wperson)=0For terminal velocityFdrag on person +(−mg)=0cv2terminal+((−50.0 kg)⋅(9.80 ms−2))=0cv2terminal=686 kgms−2v2terminal=686 kgms−2cvterminal=√686 kgms−2c kgm−1vterminal=1√c⋅(26.192)ms−1vterminal=1√18 ⋅(26.192)ms−1=6.17m s-1
Conclusion:
Thus, the terminal velocity of the person with parachute is vterminal=6.17m s-1
(b)
The value of the proportionality constant c when the terminal velocity is 50.0 ms−1.

Answer to Problem 55QAP
The value of the proportionality constant c when the terminal velocity is 50.0 ms−1 is 0.2744 kg ms−1
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Mass of the person
- 70.0 kg
Terminal velocity
- 50.0 ms−1
Formula used:
Newton's second law - F=ma ( Used considering the vertical force components)
Fdrag on person +(−Wperson)=0
Fdrag=cv2
Calculation:
Fdrag on person +(−Wperson)=0For terminal velocitycv2terminal−mg=0
c⋅((50 ms−1)2)+((−70.0 kg)⋅(9.80 ms−2))=0c=686 kgms−22500 m2s−2c=0.2744 kg ms−1
Conclusion:
Thus, the value of the proportionality constant c when the terminal velocity is 50.0 m/s is 0.2744 kg ms−1
