As the skydiver moves downward with a speed v, the air drag exerted by the parachute on the skydiver has a magnitude Fa = Cav² (Cd is a drag coefficient) and a direction op- posite to the direction of motion. Determine the expression of the skydiver's acceleration in terms of C, v, the mass of the skydiver m, and the acceleration due to gravity.

Angular Momentum of a Particle Two identical spheres with m=3 kg each are rigidly attached to the rotating light rigid structure. The velocity of the spheres is v=2 m/s. Determine the angular momentum about the axis of rotation.
You wish to put a 1000-kg satellite into a circular orbit 300 km above the earth’s surface. (a) What speed, period, and radial acceleration will it have? (b) How much work must be done to the satellite to put it in orbit? (c) How much additional work would have to be done to make the satellite escape the earth? In part (b) if we ignored the satellite’s initial kinetic energy due to the rotation of the earth. How much difference does this make? Suppose your personal spacecraft is in a low-altitude circular orbit around the earth. Air resistance from the outer regions of the atmosphere does negative work on the spacecraft, causing the orbital radius to decrease slightly. Does the speed of the spacecraft (i) remain the same, (ii) increase, or (iii)
An aircraft, of mass 2000 kg, is following a circular path in the vertical plane as shown inFigure 2. When the flight path of the aircraft is at an angle of 30 from the horizontal, theaircraft’s velocity is 150 m/sec, the radius of curvature of its trajectory is 1000 metres,and the net thrust (engine thrust minus drag) isT = 30kN and acts along the flight path.Assume that the lift force L is perpendicular to the flight path.Draw a free-body diagram showing all forces acting on the aircraft. Calculate the resultantacceleration and its angle from the flight path. Also calculate the lift force L.
The figure below shows a diver going through general motion. The diver's center of gravity can be assumed to undergo a projectile motion. Assume that the diver takes off from a diving board such that his center of gravity is a height ho = 11m above the water level and enters the water at a horizontal distance 1 = 4m from the end of the board. If the total time the diver remains in the air is t2 = 2.3s, calculate the speed, vo, and angle of takeoff ,O, of the diver's center of gravity. Also determine the height, hi, the diver reaches at the top of the dive. (Note that tr is NOT half of t2.)

An estimate of the expected load on over-the-shoulder seat belts is to be made before designing prototype belts that will be evaluated in automobile crash tests. Assuming that an automobile traveling at 45 mi/h is brought to a stop in 110 ms, determine (a) the average impulsive force exerted by a 200-lb man on the belt, (b) the maximum force Fm exerted on the belt if the force-time diagram has the shape shown.
Calculate the expected acceleration (Eq. 2) and the experimental acceleration (Eq. 3). This hanging mass will supply the unbalanced (net) force acting on the cart. The track is assumed to be frictionless, so the only force present is that from the hanging mass. m1 (hanging mass), m2 (cart).

A body above the surface of the earth is pulled toward the center of the earth with a forceproportional to the reciprocal of the square of the distance of the body from the center. If the radiusof the earth is 6375 km, find the velocity of the body as it strikes the surface of the earth if it fallsfrom rest at a distance four times the earth’s radius measured from the center of the earth. What isthe velocity if it falls from an infinite distance?
