The acceleration (a vector quantity) of gravity on a sky diver is 9.8 m/s². If the force of the wind also causes an acceleration of 2.4 m/s² at an angle of 17° above the horizontal, what is the resultant acceleration of the sky diver? Set up the problem by representing each force as a vector. Let S represent the downward force on the sky diver due to gravity, let W represent the upward force on the sky diver due to the wind, and let R represent the resultant vector.

1) Most of us rode bikes a kid. Did you ever accidentally apply the front brake while riding down a hill and flip over your handlebars? Let's analyze the level of deceleration needed to cause this to happen (at this instant the normal force of the rear tire is zero). Assume the rider is moving down a hill at a constant velocity and att = 0, the rider squeezes the brakes and begins to decelerate. This action results in a force that points in the bi direction and passes through the contact points between the tires and the pavement. Be sure to include your FBD, IRD, and transformation array. b2 30 in. FB 13 in. 23 in.
