510 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the squirrel can be approximated as a rectanglar prism with cross-sectional area of width 11.6 cm and length 23.2 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the gr

The terminal velocity is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The mass of the squirrel is  

      The surface area is  

       The height of fall is  h =4.8 m

        The length of the prism is

          The width of the prism is

The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as

Where  is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of

            is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1

            A  is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as

 substituting values
