The terminal speed of a sky diver is 130 km/h in the spread-eagle position and 326 km/h in the nosedive position. Assuming that

the diver's drag coefficient C does not change from one position to the other, find the ratio of the effective cross-sectional area A in the slower position to that in the faster position.

Answer:

\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885

Explanation:

Given data

Terminal velocity for spread eagle position vt=130 km/h

Terminal velocity for nosedive position vt=326 km/h

The terminal speed of the diver is given by

v_{t}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{CpA} }

Therefore the area is given by

A=\frac{2mg}{Cp(v_{t})^{2}  }\\

Since everything else is constant in the two dives except for the terminal velocity, the ratio between the area in the slow position to the area in the fast position is

\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=\frac{326^{2} }{130^{2} }\\\frac{A_{slow} }{A_{fast} }=6.2885

A multi-dimensional being reaches down to Earth and pulls you out of the universe. You are then thrown back into the universe at
Shkiper50 [21]

You are in an early universe.

In the study of the evolution of the universe, it has been determined before Plank time (before the big bang and right after it), the early universe had the following characteristics:

  • There was only one single force acting over all that existed.
  • The early universe was very hot and dense because all matter had contracted before the big bang.
  • Space and time were wrapped.

These characteristics match the ones described, based on this, we can conclude you are in an early universe.
