After the initial experiment, students wondered how a person's weight would influence the results. They conducted a second experiment to determine if the mass of an object affected friction, assuming the types of surfaces remained constant. A spring scale was attached to a wooden block (1 kg). The block was placed on a wooden board and the spring scale was used to pull the block. The magnitude of the force required to start the block moving was recorded in the data table. The experiment was repeated using two, three, and four blocks. The data can be seen in the data table at the top of the page. What is the relationship between static friction and weight?

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.
