Chapter 1, Problem 11P
A sky diver with a mass of 70 kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on the sky diver is known to be FD = kV2, where k = 0.25 N·s2/m2. Determine the maximum speed of free fall for the sky diver and the speed reached after 100 m of fall. Plot the speed of the sky diver as a function of time and as a function of distance fallen.

Most of you have seen car advertisements where the car manufacturerbrags about how fast one of its cars can go from 0 to 100 km/h. Accordingto the manufacturer, the BMW 750iL model can go from 0 to 100 km/h in6.7 seconds. This performance is usually measured on a test track. The engine in the car is rated at 243 kW at 5000 rpm. The car has a reported weight of 23 kN . Is the claim by the manufacturer justifiable? Well, to answer this question you may agree it would be more fun to drive toa BMW dealership and take the car for a test run on a racing track. But let us answer this question with the knowledge you have gained so far in this course. We need to make some assumptions first; we can assume that the driver weighs 900 N and the reported weight of the car includes enough gasoline for this test. Next, we convert the speed and the mass values into appropriate units.
An 80 kg block sits on top of a hill with height h1 = 3 metres and slides down to a 3 metres long muddy flat section with a coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.20. The block continues up the frictionless ramp with an angle of θ = 45°. What is the velocity of the block in m/s at the bottom of the first hill?How much energy is ‘lost’ by the block during the muddy section (answer in Joules)?What height, h2, in metres does the block reach up the ramp after the muddy section before coming to a complete stop?Now consider the ramp after the muddy section to have a coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.3. What height does the block reach in metres?
