At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.

Listed below are the measured radiation absorption rates (in w/kg) corresponding to 11 cell phones. use the given data to construct a boxplot and identify the 5-number summary. 1.16 0.85 0.69 0.75 0.95 0.93 1.18 1.17 1.42 0.54 0.57 the 5-number summary is nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, and nothing, all in w/kg. (use ascending order. type integers or decimals. do not round.)
