Early test flights for the space shuttle used a "glider" (mass of 960 kg including pilot). After a horizontal launch at 480 km/h at a height of 3200 m , the glider eventually landed at a speed of 230 km/h .

What would its landing speed have been in the absence of air resistance?

What was the average force of air resistance exerted on it if it came in at a constant glide angle of 13 ∘ to the Earth's surface?

Gam radio signals can usually be heard behind a hill, but fm often cannot. that is, am signals bend more than fm. explain. (radio signals, as we shall see, are carried by electromagnetic waves whose wavelength for am is typically 200 to 600 m and for fm about 3 m.)
