4. A skydiver is falling with speed v0 through the air. At that moment (time t = 0), she opens her parachute and experiences the force of air resistance whose strength is given by the equation F = kv, in which k is a proportionality constant and v is her descent speed. The total mass of the skydiver and equipment is m. Assume that g is constant throughout her descent. (a) Draw and label all the forces acting on the skydiver after her parachute opens. (b) Determine the skydiver’s acceleration in terms of m, v, k, and g. (c) Determine the skydiver’s terminal speed (that is, the eventual constant speed of descent). (d) Sketch a graph of v as a function of time, being sure to label important values on the vertical axis.

You have a resistor and a capacitor of unknown values. first, you charge the capacitor and discharge it through the resistor. by monitoring the capacitor voltage on an oscilloscope, you see that the voltage decays to half its initial value in 2.70 miss . you then use the resistor and capacitor to make a low-pass filter. what is the crossover frequency fc?
