A sky diver of mass 53 kg can slow herself to a constant speed of 95 km/h by orienting her body horizontally, looking straight d

own with arms and legs extended. In this position, she presents the maximum cross-sectional area and thus maximizes the air-drag force on her.
(a) What is the magnitude of the drag force on the sky diver?
N
(b) If the drag force is equal to bv2, what is the value of b?
kg/m
(c) At some instant she quickly flips into a "knife" position, orienting her body vertically with her arms straight down. Suppose this reduces the value of b to 55 percent of the value in Parts (a) and (b). What is her acceleration at the instant she achieves the "knife" position?
m/s2

Answer:

force = 520 N

b = 0.747 kg/m

acceleration = 4.41 m/s²    

Explanation:

given data

mass = 53 kg

speed = 95 km/h

solution

as here driver is at constant speed so here drag force is

drag force = mg

force = 53 × 9.81

force = 520 N

and when drag force is equal to bv²

b = \frac{mg}{v^2}  

b = \frac{520}{26.38}  

b = 0.747 kg/m

and

here x = 520 × 0.55  = 286 N

so here

F net = 520 - 286

F net = 234 N

so here

acceleration = \frac{F \ net}{m}  

acceleration = \frac{234}{53}  

acceleration = 4.41 m/s²

How is retrograde motion different from normal diurnal motion
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Diurnal motion, apparent daily motion of the heavens from east to west in which celestial objects seem to rise and set, a phenomenon that results from the Earth's rotation from west to east. The axis of this apparent motion coincides with the Earth's axis of rotation.                    Retrograde motion is an APPARENT change in the movement of the planet through the sky. It is not REAL in that the planet does not physically start moving backwards in its orbit. It just appears to do so because of the relative positions of the planet and Earth and how they are moving around the Sun.
