Question: Problem 4 : A drone made to look like the Planet Express ship has a mass of 3 . 8 5 kg is flying at

Problem 4: A drone made to look like the Planet Express ship has a mass of 3.85 kg is flying at a maximum speed of 28.0mih in level flight when the drone's thrust is 5.55 N . When the battery pack runs out it ejects and parachutes to the ground leaving the Planet Express drone, now with a mass of 3.30 kg to glide back to the ground at a glide angle of 15.0. What will be the terminal velocity of the Planet Express drone as it glides to the ground? b) If the drone has a cross sectional area of 0.150m2 and the density of the air is 1.25kgm3. Calculate the drag coefficient of the drone. Assume that for all parts of the problem, the drone experiences a force due to air resistance that is proportional to the speed of the drone squared.
