A415-kg container of food and water is dropped from an airplane at an altitude of 300m. first, consider the situation ignoring air resistance. then calculate the more realistic situation involving a drag force provided by a parachute.

1. if you ignore air resistance, how long will it take the container to fall 300m to the ground?

2. again, ignoring air resistance, what is the speed of the container just before it hits the ground?

3. the container is attached to a parachute designed to produce a drag force that allows the container to reach a constant downward velocity of 6m/s. what is the magnitude of the drag force when the container is falling at a constant 6m/s down?

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
