1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv 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. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

In positive numbers less than 1, the zeros between the decimal point and non zero are significant

A980-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg suv stopped at a red light. the bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.6m before stopping. the police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. what was that speed?
