An object falling under the pull of gravity is acted upon byafrictional force of air resistance. The magnitude of this forceisapproximately proportional to the speed of the object, which canbewritten as f = bv. Assume that b =16kg/s and m = 44 kg. (a) What is the terminal speed thatthe objectreaches while falling?

Enter anumber.
1 m/s
(b) Does your answer to part (a) depend on the initial speed oftheobject?
2
Yes No

A skydiver of mass 80.0 kg (including parachute) jumps off a plane and begins her descent. Throughout this problem use 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.
 
(A) At some point during her free fall, the skydiver reaches her terminal speed. What is the magnitude of the drag force Fdrag due to air resistance that acts on the skydiver when she has reached terminal speed?
 
(B) For an object falling through air at a high speed v, the drag force acting on it due to air resistance can be expressed as
 
F=Kv2
 
where the coefficient K depends on the shape and size of the falling object and on the density of air. For a human body, the numerical value for K is about 0.250 kg/m .
 
Using this value for K, what is the terminal speed vterminal of the skydiver?
 
(C) When the skydiver descends to a certain height above the ground, she deploys her parachute to ensure a safe landing. Usually, the parachute is deployed when the skydiver reaches an altitude of about 900 m (3000 ft). Immediately after deploying the parachute, does the skydiver have a nonzero acceleration?
 
(D) When the parachute is fully open, the effective drag coefficient of the skydiver plus the parachute increases to 60.0 kg/m. What is the drag force Fdrag acting on the skydiver immediately after she has opened the parachute?
 
(E) What is the terminal speed vterminal of the skydiver when the parachute is opened?

A conductor bar with mass m and length L slides over horizontal rails that are connected to a voltage source. The voltage source maintains a constant current I in the rails and bar, and constant, uniform, vertical magnetic field B fills the region between the rails (as shown in Fig.)

1) Find the magnitude of the net force on the conducting bar. Ignore friction, air resistance, and electrical resistance.

2) What is the direction of the net force? to the left to the right

3)  If the bar has mass m, find the distance d that the bar must move along the rails from rest to attain speed v.

4)  It has been suggested that rail guns based on this principle could accelerate payloads into earth orbit or beyond. Find the distance the bar must travel along the rails if it is to reach the escape speed for the earth (11.2 km/s). Let B = 0.8 T , I = 2x103 A, m = 25 kg, L = 50 cm. For simplicity assume the net force on the object is equal to the magnetic force, as in parts (a) and (b), even though gravity plays an important role in an actual launch in space.
