Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 11P
A sky diver with a mass of 70 kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on the sky diver is known to be FD = kV2, where k = 0.25 N·s2/m2. Determine the maximum speed of free fall for the sky diver and the speed reached after 100 m of fall. Plot the speed of the sky diver as a function of time and as a function of distance fallen.

A 1.28 Mg MINI accelerates at 6 m/s² starting from rest. If the drag resistance on the MINI due to the wind is FD = 10v N, where v is the speed in m/s, determine the power supplied to the motor when t = 5 s. The motor has a running efficiency of € = 0.68.
A motorboat and its load weigh 980 kg. Assume that the propeller force is constant and equal to 24 kg, and the water resistance is numerically equal to 1.5v kg, where v is the speed at any instant time in m/sec. If the boat starts from rest, determine its speed at the end of 10 seconds.
Answer is 2.23 m/s
If a ball is dropped from a height (H) its velocity will increase until it hits the ground (assuming that aerodynamic drag due to the air is negligible). During its fall, its initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If the ball is dropped from a height of 680 centimeters [cm], and the impact velocity is 38 feet per second [ft/s], determine the value of gravity in units of meters per second squared [m/s2].
