In february 1955, a paratrooper fell 360 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, suffering only minor injuries. assume that his speed at impact was 60 m/s (terminal speed), that his mass (including gear) was 80 kg, and that the force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 x 10^5n.
(a) what is the minimum depth of snow that would have stopped him safely?
(b) what is the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?

Imagine that you have two balloons (or, better yet, actually inflate two balloons, if possible). create static electricity around one of the balloons by rubbing it against your hair or your sweater and then bring that balloon close to the other balloon, which has not been charged. try this with at least one other object—and for variety in the discussion, avoid using an object already described by your classmates. then, for your initial post to the discussion, answer the following questions: what happened with the two balloons?

Friction removes energy from objects in motion. which statement best describes how this works? a) friction transforms ke into thermal energy b) friction transfers thermal energy to ke c) friction transforms te into pe d) friction transforms pe into ke e) friction transfers ke into pe

Aman is trying to drag a small tree that he cut down. if the static coefficient of friction of the tree on the ground is 0.5 and the tree weighs 670 n, what is the minimum amount of horizontal force that the man will need to apply so that the tree will start moving? o a. 465 n o b. 230 n o c. 670 n o d. 335 n
