Terminal speed=136.7 m/s

the formula for the terminal speed is given by :

V= \sqrt{\frac{2 mg}{\rho a C}}

m= mass=75 kg

a= area=0.2 x 0.4=0.08 m²

ρ= density of air=1.23 kg/m³

C= drag constant =0.8

so V= \sqrt{\frac{2 *75*9.8}{1.23*0.08*0.8}}

v= 136.7 m/s

lisabon 2012 [21]
<span>Because P = W ÷ t, and W = F*t, you can substitute (W) for (F*t). Then substitute (F) for (m*a). This will leave you with P = (m*a*d)/t. Since you need velocity, youd want to solve for a so you can use v = a*t. a = (P*t)/(m*d) therefore, substituting a in v = a*t, v = (P*t*t)/(m*d)</span>

An object has a mass of 13.5 kilograms. What force is required to accelerate it to a rate of 9.5 m/s2?
Zigmanuir [339]
Force can be expressed as the product of mass and acceleration. Mathematically, that's F = m(a). Plugging the given into the equation, we have F = (13.5 kg)(9.5 m/s²) = 128.3 kg.m/s² or 128.3 N<span>. </span>
