A single-celled animal called a paramecium propels itself quite rapidly through water using its hair-like cilia. A certain paramecium experiences a drag force of Farag -bu? in water, where the drag coefficient b is approximately 0.330 kg/m. If the paramecium's speed v is 0.000157 m/s, what is the magnitude of the propulsion force that the creature must generate to move at this constant speed? magnitude: 2.684 x10-9 N

Biologists have estimated the drag coefficient of a swimming penguin by observing the rate at which a penguin’s speed decreases in its glide phase, when it’s not actively swimming and is slowing down. In one study, a gliding 4.8 kg Gentoo penguin has an acceleration of -0.52 m/s2 when its speed is 1.60 m/s. If its frontal area is 0.020 m2, what is the penguin’s drag coefficient?

A skydiver is at an altitude of 1520 m. After 10.0 seconds of free fall, he opens his parachute and finds that the air resistance, FD , is given by the formula FD = −bv, where b is a constant and v is the velocity. If b = 0.750, and the mass of the skydiver is 82.0 kg, first set up differential equations for the velocity and the position, and then find: (a) the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens, (b) the distance fallen before the parachute opens, (c) the terminal velocity after the parachute opens (find the limiting velocity), and (d) the time the skydiver is in the air after the parachute opens.
