One of the things a ship captain thinks about are the waves through which his or her ship will travel. This factor is considered when the size and shape of the ship are determined. A captain must be aware of the effects of both transverse and longitudinal waves. For example, most ships have a pointed front so that they can separate water particles (and thus disrupt the ocean waves), allowing the ship to move easily and safely through the ocean.

Can you think of another important factor that a captain should consider so that he or she can successfully combat the waves of the ocean?

Zeros that follow non-zeros numbers and are also to the right of a decimal point are significant

Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.
