Calculate the speed (in m/s) a spherical rain drop would achieve falling from 1.20 km in the absence of air drag and with air drag. Take the size across of the drop to be 7 mm, the density to be 1.00 x 10 kg/m, and the surface area to be r. (Assume the density of air is 1.21 kg/m.) (a) in the absence of air drag m/s (b) with air drag m/s

Which geographic direction does it represent?
A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30 north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m south. Assuming the current is no longer present, in what direction and how far should she now swim to come back to the point where she started?

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park.Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool (Fig. P3.70). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wideenough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model?
