8. In order to drag a 100 kg log along the ground at uniform velocity you have to pull on it with a force F = 300 N î. What is the resistive force exerted by the ground on the log? In the absence of air drag, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s². What is the magnitude of the drag force of the air on a body of mass 0.25 kg falling freely with a downward acceleration of 9.20 m/s?. 9. 10. A parachutist relies on air resistance to decrease her downward velocity. She and her parachute have a mass of 55.0 kg, and air resistance exerts a total upward force of 600 N on her and her parachute. What is the acceleration of the parachutist?

When you take off in a jet aircraft, there is a sensation of being pushed back into the seat. Explain why you move backward in the seat—is there really a force backward on you? (The same reasoning explains whiplash injuries, in which the head is apparently thrown backward.)
(a) What is the maximum frictional force in the knee joint of a person who supports 66.0 kg of her mass on that knee? (b) During strenuous exercise, it is possible to exert forces to the joints that are easily 10 times greater than the weight being supported. What is the maximum force of friction under such conditions? The frictional forces in joints are relatively small in all circumstances except when the joints deteriorate, such as from injury or arthritis. Increased frictional forces can cause further damage and pam.
