Many birds can attain very high speeds when diving. Using radar, scientists measured the altitude of a barn swallow in a vertical dive; it dropped 208 m in 3.0 s. The mass of the swallow was estimated to be 0.018 kg, and its cross-section area as 5.6 x 10-4 m2. What was the drag coefficient for this swallow as it dove?
Komi was on vacation and went to scale Mt. Banahaw. Her weight at the base of the mountain is 540 N; on top she weighs 539.5 N. Note that the gravity acceleration decreases about 0.246 cm/s² for each 1000 m ascent. Determine the height in m of a point above the base where her weight decreases by 1.219%.
A 3 kg particle moves along an x axis, being propelled by a variable force directed along that axis. Its position is given by x = 2 m + (2 m/s)t + ct2 - (3 m/s³)t³ with x in meters and t in seconds.The factor c is a constant. At t = 4 s the force on the particle has a magnitude of 33N and is in the negative direction of the axis. What is c? Number Units
