A 12.0 kg ball is placed on a catapult. When the catapult releases it applies a pressure of 1598 N, what is the acceleration of the ball as it moves
through the air?

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.

Assume similar data for the motion of the blood in your aorta. estimate how many beats of the heart it will take the blood to get from your heart to your brain. (assume that the distance from your heart to your brain is 30 cm)

The star betelgeuse is about 600 light-years away. if it explodes tonight, a. we'll know because debris from the explosion will rain down on us from space. b. we'll know it immediately because it will be brighter than the full moon in the sky. c. we won't know about it until 600 years from now. d. none of the above.
