4. Our second-to-last parachuting idiot (whose mass is 50okg) of the semester has jumped from a height of 20,000m. Her
parachute is broken, obviously.
Ignoring air resistance, how long will it take her to reach the Earth? At what speed would she hit the
a.
ground?
b.
She is subject to a linear air resistance term and a quadratic air resistance term. Which of these terms is
likely to dominate? Why?
C.
Including air resistance, at what velocity will she strike the Earth? (Assume the coefficient to be 0.3Ns/m
for quadratic or 0.3 Ns/m for linear, depending on your answer for part b.)
Suppose you're standing at the edge of a cliff with a ball in each hand. You throw one ball straight up and the other straight down with the same initial speed. Which ball, if either, will have a greater speed when it hits the ground? Explain your answer.
