A 415-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. 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?

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. each step is of uniform height . the mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass : object 1 has mass 4..00m , object 2 has mass 1..96m , and object 3 has mass . when the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. if the objects are then relocated as shown, what is the new total potential energy of the system? each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression. each algebraic expression is given using some combination of the variables , , and , where is the acceleration due to gravity. enter only the numerical coefficient. (example: if the answer is 1..23mgd , just enter 1.23)

In a stagnant pool of water, a crayfish may spend much of its time lying with one side of its carapace near the surface of the water. in this position, it will move the walking legs on that side in a rhythmic back-and-forth motion. explain the likely function of this behavior.

The coefficient of friction is a number that represents the resistance to sliding between two in contact with one another.
