Question:
Consider a parachute as a safety device. When the parachute opens, the previously freely falling person typically has reached a speed of about 50. m/s. The parachute slows to a terminal speed of about 10. m/s in 1.3 s. Approximating this set of motions by a constant deceleration, what is the maximum g experienced by the parachutist?
