Problem number 1 (10 pts) a parachutist jumps at an altitude of 3000 meters. if the parachute does not open, she is expected to approach a terminal speed of 30 m/sec. (g 10 m/s) (a) [4 points] assuming that air resistance is proportional to speed, about how long does it take her to reach 90% of the terminal speed? (b) [2 points] how far has she traveled in reaching 90% of the terminal speed? after her parachute opens, her speed is slowed to 3m/sec. as she hits the ground, she her knees to absorb the shock. flexes (c) [4 points] how far must she bend her knees in order to experience deceleration no greater than 10 g? assume that her knees are like a spring with a resisting force proportional to displacement (mechanical energy is conserved).

Consider a one meter long horizontal pipe with a constant 100 cm^2 cross sectional area. water flows rightward into the pipe at x = 0 with flow velocity 02m/sec at every point within the pipe intake area. at x=1, the rightward flow rate is 0.192 m/sec. assume the water is a conserved quantity in the pipe, so there must be a leak (a sink) somewhere in the pipe. 1. compute net volumetric flow of the source if the system to be in equilibrium. 2. now assume the pipe in the problem has no leaks. compute the net volumetric rate of change for the system.
