A flat cushion of mass m is released from rest at the corner of the roof of a building, at height h. A wind blowing along the side of the building exerts a constant horizontal force of magnitude F on the cushion as it drops as shown in the figure below. The air exerts no vertical force.

(A) Show that the path of the cushion is a straight line. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.)

(B) Does the cushion fall with constant velocity?

(D) If the cushion is thrown downward with a nonzero speed at the top of the building, what will be the shape of its trajectory?

An object of mass 2 kg is released from rest from a platform 30 m above the water and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. After the object strikes the water, it begins to sink with gravity pulling down and a buoyancy force pushing up. Assume that the force due to gravity (g = 9.81 m/s2) is constant, no change in momentum occurs on impact with the water, the buoyancy force is 1/2 the weight (weight=mg), and the...
