An F-106 is flying from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Charleston, South Carolina, a distance of 1400 n miles. The pilot reads an indicated airspeed of 300 kn at a pressure altitude of 50,000 ft MSL. If position error is negligible, what is the aircraft's true airspeed? If it is flying in a 50-kn tailwind, what is the plane's ground speed, and how long will the 1400-n mile flight take?

On a manned orbital mission to a planet in the far, far reaches of the galaxy, the brave astronauts observe a geyser spouting from the surface of the planet. Based on measurements the astronauts conclude that the water emerges with an initial speed of 20.00 m/sec and reaches a height of 16.67 meters above the planet. What’s the acceleration of gravity on the surface of the planet?

Suppose a skydiver jumps out of a plane 15,000 meters above the ground. It takes him 2.0 seconds to pull the cord to deploy the parachute and another 2.0 seconds for the parachute to be fully deployed. Additionally, in order to land safely on the ground, his parachute must be fully deployed 10.0 seconds before he hits the ground. With this information and assuming there is no additional air resistance or changes in atmospheric density, what is the maximum time into his fall that he can wait to pull the cord in order to make it safely to the ground?
