ANSWER

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv 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. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

1. a net force of 100 newton’s is applied to a wagon for 5 seconds. this causes the wagon to undergo a change in momentum of

A1500 w electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120 v circuit that has a 20 a circuit breaker. you plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. the hair dryer has power settings of 600 w, 900 w , 1200 w, and 1500 w. you start with the hair dryer on the 600 w setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. under what setting does the circuit breaker trip.
