A falling skydiver is experiencing 402 N of drag force on his parachute. The mass of the skydiver (including parachute gear) is 67.2 kg.
A) Draw a force diagram.
B) Write the equation for the forces acting vertically.
C) Find the acceleration of the skydiver.

Ball b is hanging from an inextensible cord. an identical ball a is released from rest when it is just touching the cord and drops through the vertical distance h a 5 8 in. before striking ball b. assuming e 5 0.9 and no friction, determine the resulting maximum vertical displacement h b of the ball b

Abug is 12 cm from the center of a turntable that is rotating with a frequency of 45 rev/min . what minimum coefficient friction is required so that the bug stays on the turntable?

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. shine a pencil-thin beam of light on a mirror perpendicular to its surface. (if you don't have a laser light as suggested in the video, you can make a narrow beam from a flashlight by making a cone from black construction paper and taping it over the face of the flashlight.) how does the light reflect? how does the relationship of incident to reflected ray relate to the reflection of water waves moving perpendicular to a barrier? 2. shine a pencil-thin beam of light on a mirror standing on a sheet of paper on the table (or floor) so that you can mark the incident ray and reflected ray. (you can support the mirror from the back by taping it to a wooden block.) 3. mark a line on the paper representing the reflective surface. (the reflective surface of a mirror is usually the back edge.) 4. draw a dashed line perpendicular to the mirror surface at a point where the incident and reflected ray meet. this perpendicular is called a normal to the surface. 5. measure the angles between the rays and the normal. the angle of incidence is the angle formed by the incident ray and the normal to the surface. the angle formed by the reflected ray and normal is called the angle of reflection (r). what is the angle of incidence? what is the angle of reflection? 6. repeat for several different angles. (see report sheet for details.) what appears to be the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of reflection? in science 1204, what was the relationship for these two angles made by the reflection of waves in a ripple tank? 7. roll a ball bearing so that it hits a fixed, hard surface (a metal plate) at several angles (including head-on). observe the way in which the ball bearing reflects. what generalization can you make about how a ball bearing reflects from a wall? have you proved that light can only behave like a wave?
