You have to solve this by using the equations of motion:
u=3
v=0
s=2.5
a=?
v^2=u^2+2as
0=9+5s
Giving a=-1.8m/s^2
Then using the equation:
F=ma
F is the frictional force as there is no other force acting and its negative as its in the opposite direction to the direction of motion.
-F=25(-1.8)
F=45N
Then use the formula:
F=uR
Where u is the coefficient of friction, R is the normal force and F is the frictional force.
45=u(25g)
45=u(25*10)
Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.18

a = 7.8 m/s^2
Explanation:
Let Fnet = net force = ma
m = mass of the skydiver
a = acceleration caused by Fnet
W = weight = mg
f(air) = frictional force due to air resistance
Fnet = W - f(air)
= (100 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) - (200 N)
= 780 N
Therefore, the acceleration of the skydiver due to Fnet is
a = Fnet/m
= (780 N)/(100 kg)
= 7.8 m/s^2
Answer: Air
Explanation: Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. Air and hydrogen have nearly the same elastic properties, but the density of hydrogen is less than that of air. Sound thus travels faster (about 4 times as fast) in hydrogen than in air.
