If the airman had a mass of 80 kg, find the magnitude of the air drag acting on him when he reached terminal velocity of 54 m/s.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.

In the united states, tornadoes generally occur because of the freezing of ocean water underwater earthquakes meeting of cool and warm air masses shifting of warm and cool ocean currents

Which of the following is a true statement about the acceleration ~a of the pendulum bob ~a is equal to the acceleration due to gravity. ~a is perpendicular to the bob’s trajectory. ~a is equal to the instantaneous rate of change in velocity. ~a is tangent to the bob’s trajectory.
