A sky diver jumps from a helicopter and is falling straight down at 30 m/s when his parachute opens. From then on, his downward acceleration is approximately
a = g - cv2 , where g = 9.81 m/s2 and c is a constant. After an initial "transient" period, he descends at a nearly constant velocity of 5 m/s.

a. What is the value of c, and what are its SI units?

b. What maximum deceleration is the sky diver subjected to?

c. What is his downward velocity whe he has fallen 2m from the point at which his parachute opens?

Use henry's law and the solubilities given below to calculate the total volume of nitrogen and oxygen gas that should bubble out of 1.7 l of water upon warming from 25 ˚c to 50 ˚c. assume that the water is initially saturated with nitrogen and oxygen gas at 25 ˚c and a total pressure of 1.0 atm. assume that the gas bubbles out at a temperature of 50 ˚c. the solubility of oxygen gas at 50 ˚c is 27.8 mg/l at an oxygen pressure of 1.00 atm. the solubility of nitrogen gas at 50 ˚c is 14.6 mg/l at a nitrogen pressure of 1.00 atm. assume that the air above the water contains an oxygen partial pressure of 0.21 atm and a nitrogen partial pressure of 0.78 atm.
