The terminal velocity reached by a sky diver depends on many factors, including their weight, their body position as they fall, and the density of the air through which they fall. The terminal velocity (V.) is given by, Where, V= 2mg PACE m is the sky diver's mass g is acceleration dur to gravity p is the density of atmospheric air A is the sky diver's effective area Ca is the sky diver's drag coefficient (a) Compute the terminal velocity of the sky diver for each of the following values of m: m = 35 kg m = 70 kg m = 110 kg Use the following values for the other variables (in consistent units); 9 9.81 P=1.21 A=0.5 Ca 0.98 (b) Plot the terminal velocity as a function of the sky diver's weight; use weights from 30kg to 150kg.
