Askydiver weighing 140 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 19,000 ft and opens the parachute after 18 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.55|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 14|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v 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. (a) find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. (b) find the distance fallen before the parachute opens. (c) what is the limiting velocity vl after the parachute opens? (d) determine how long the sky diver is in the air after the parachute opens. (e) plot the graph of velocity versus time from the beginning of the fall until the skydiver reaches the ground.

Which statement correctly describes the current in a circuit that is made up of any two resistors connected in parallel with a battery? a. the current in the battery and in each resistor is the same b. the current the battery equals to the sum of the currents in the resistors c.the current in the battery is less than the current in either resistor d. the current in the battery equals to the product of the currents in the resistors

Which statement is true if the refractive index of medium a is greater than that of medium b? a. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from air to medium b to medium a. b. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from medium a to medium b. c. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from medium b to medium a. d. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from air to medium a. e. total internal reflection is possible when light travels from air to medium b.
