Suppose that you are designing a parachute so that the terminal velocity using the parachute will be the same as the velocity at the end of a normal (frictionless) jump from a height of 2.80 m. If the parachute exerts a drag force of - b v where v is in meters per second and if the parachute is designed for an 70.0 kg person, what is b?

Carl jumps out of a plane and, after opening his parachute, reaches a constant terminal velocity of 25 m/s. When he is 1200 m above the ground, Mitch, standing directly below Carl, launches a pumpkin straight up into the air at Carl. The pumpkin has an initial velocity of 145 m/s. (a) How much time does Carl have until it’s time for pumpkin pie (IOW, until it smashes into Skid)? (b) Assuming Carl does not have his wits about him,...

Calculate the terminal velocity in free fall of a bowling ball (mass of 7.2 kg, diameter of 21.6 cm) and a basketball (mass of 0.51 kg, diameter of 23.85 cm). The bowling ball can be considered a smooth sphere (Cd = 0.1), while the basketball can be considered a rough sphere (Cd = 0.4). What would be the terminal velocity of the basketball if we considered it a smooth sphere?

Scenario Suppose you are designing a piece of software for a packaging company. A part of the software involves an items capacity limit mechanism to prevent a package from being shipped when it's filled past its capacity. Aim Define a class called Package, which will have a maximum item capacity of 6. The package should be initialized with the number of items. If the number of items exceeds the capacity limit during initialization, it should print out a message indicating...
