ASK YOUR TEACHER

PRACTICE ANOTHER

A 530 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the squirrel can be approximated as a rectanglar prism with cross-sectional area of width 11.6 cm and length 23.2 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground. Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits the ground.)

(No Response) m/s

What will be the velocity of a 53.0 kg person hitting the ground, assuming no drag contribution in such a short distance?

(No Response) m/s

The answer to this question was wrong. Can you please assist?
