⦁ A 90-kg skydiver jumps out of a plane above the earth.
⦁ As soon as he exits the plane, when there is no air resistance, what is the skydiver’s acceleration?
⦁ After one second, he is now accelerating at a rate of 6.7 m/s/s downward. What force is the air exerting on him? (Draw a free-body diagram!)
A 140 kg wooden crate resting on a wood floor. The coefficients of stattic and kinetic friction here are μs =0.5 and μk=0.3. WHat maximum force, in newtons, can you exert horizontally on the crate without moving it? If you continue to extert this force once the crate starts to slip, what will its accelertation be in m/s2?
You walk into an elevator, step on a scale, and push the "up" button. You also recalll that your normal weight is 625N. Draw a free body diagram. If the elevator has an acceleration of magnitude 2.50m/s2, what does the scale read?
