Consider a skydiver falling towards the Earth. Air friction acts to oppose their motion.
At some point the skydiver reaches their terminal speed: their constant maximum
speed (before they open the parachute). Before and after terminal speed is reached,
what can you say about the relationship between the force of air friction and the force
of gravity? Briefly explain.
A ski jumper leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction
with a speed of 25.0 m/s as shown in figure Below. The landing
incline below her falls off with a slope of 35.0°.

Where does she land on the incline?
