A skydiver of mass m jumps from a hot air balloon and falls a distance d before reaching a terminal velocity of magnitude v . As
sume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g . a. What is the work (Wd) done on the skydiver, over the distance , by the drag force of the air?
b. Find the power (P d) supplied by the drag force after the skydiver has reached terminal velocity v.
Periodic motion implies that the ride oscillates back and forth. The period is the time it takes to complete one cycle. Therefore it would be the swing.
