Clearly, the stress response becomes your best friend when you find yourself in a dangerous
situation. The immediate speed, power, and quickness that come from fight-or-flight
activation can save your life. Write down a situation in which your life or the life of someone
you know was really in danger, where the only desire was to stay alive by escaping

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.

Six pendulums of mass mand length las shown are released from rest at the same angle theta from vertical. rank the pendulums according to the numberof complete cycles of motion each pendulum goes through perminute. a. l= 1m m=2kg b. l= 4m m=1 kg c. l= 2 m m= 2 kg d. l= 1 m m= 4 kg e. l= 2 m m = 4 kg f. l= 4m m = 4kg
