A skydiver leaves a helicopter with zero velocity and falls for 10.0 seconds before she opens her parachute. During the fall, the air resistance, F_DF D , is given by the formula F_D= - bvF D =−bv, where b=0.75b=0.75 kg/s and vv is the velocity. The mass of the skydiver with all the gear is 82.0 kg. Set up differential equations for the velocity and the position, and then find the distance fallen before the parachute opens.
a. 485 m
b. 458 m
c. 490 m
