2. Consider a skydiver who has stepped from a helicopter and is falling through air. Before she reaches terminal speed and long before she opens her parachute, does her speed (a) increase, (b) decrease, or (c) stay constant?
A 151 kg crate is placed on an adjustable inclined plane. If the crate slides down the incline with an acceleration of 0.8 m/s2 when the incline angle is 31 degrees, what should the incline angle be for the crate to slide down the plane at constant speed ?
A small block has a horizontal velocity of 4.00 m/s as it slides off the edge of a table. The table is a vertical distance of 0.85 m above the floor. If g = 9.80 m/s2,
how far does the block travel horizontally while it is in the air?
