Problem number 1 (10 pts) a parachutist jumps at an altitude of 3000 meters. if the parachute does not open, she is expected to approach a terminal speed of 30 m/sec. (g 10 m/s) (a) [4 points] assuming that air resistance is proportional to speed, about how long does it take her to reach 90% of the terminal speed? (b) [2 points] how far has she traveled in reaching 90% of the terminal speed? after her parachute opens, her speed is slowed to 3m/sec. as she hits the ground, she her knees to absorb the shock. flexes (c) [4 points] how far must she bend her knees in order to experience deceleration no greater than 10 g? assume that her knees are like a spring with a resisting force proportional to displacement (mechanical energy is conserved).

The 5-kg cylinder is initially at rest when it is placed in contact with the wall b and the rotor at a. if the rotor always maintains a constant clockwise angular velocity v = 6 rad> s, determine the initial angular acceleration of the cylinder. the coefficient of kinetic friction at the contacting surfaces b and c is mk = 0.2.

22. the top of a cliff is located a distance h above the ground. at a distance h/2 there is a branch that juts out from the side of the cliff, and on this branch a bird's nest is located. two children throw stones at the nest with the same initial speed, one stone straight downward from the top of the cliff and the other stone straight upward from the ground. in the absence of air resistance, which stone hits the nest in the least amount of time?
