Take a small little man of some sort, army guy maybe and make a parachute for him. toss him off a balcony or roof or similar. collect data using physics tracker or other such program. decide whether the drag is most like cv^2 or cv. fit a model to it solve the equations by hand. how well do they match up? what is the drag coefficient? how long will he fall before he hits 95% of terminal velocity? what is his terminal velocity?
used the tracker and found the final velocity to be 5.84 m/s and lands 2.44 meters down.
the problem i am having is that i'm not sure how to find the drag coefficient and then how to start the system of equations to solve. it weighs 72.7 grams.

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line
