22. After entering the Martian atmosphere, the InSight lander (m= 550 kg) deployed its 12.0 m diameter parachute. If the drag coefficient of the parachute is 2.20, the Martian atmosphere has a density, p = 0.0130 kg/m, and the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is 3.80 m/s2, what was the magnitude of InSight's terminal velocity? a) || = 35.9 m/s b) || = 109 m/s c) || = 5.70 m/s d) || = 3.80 m/s 22.
