2. A parachutist with mass 100 kg drops from an altitude of 3000 m. Assume that the airresistance is proportional to the velocity. During freefall, a downward velocity of 5 m/scauses a resistive force of 100 N. The resistive force of an open parachute is 5 times that offreefall. Determine the time when the parachuter reaches the ground if the time of freefall is(a) 30 seconds,(b) 1 minute.Hint: You will solve a transcendental equation. Try a numerical technique (e.g. Newton'smethod) or computational software.

5.A small rocket with mass 20.0 kg is moving in free falltoward the earth. Air resistance can be neglected. When the rocket is80.0 m above the surface of the earth, it is moving downward with aspeed of 30.0 m/s. At that instant the rocket engines start to fire and producea constant upward force F on the rocket. Assume the change in therocket’s mass is negligible. What is the value of F if the rocket’s speedbecomes zero just as it reaches the surface of the earth, for a soft landing?(Hint: The net force on the rocket is the combination of the upwardforce F from the engines and the downward weight of the rocket.)

3. You are pushing a book with a force Fyb to the right across a level table at a constant velocity under the influence of kinetic friction. At t = 0 s, you reduce the magnitude of your force from F, to 0, at a constant rate over the course of 10 s. For the first 5 s of this time the book is still sliding, however during the last 5 s the book is at rest with respect to the table. Use a coordinate system such that the î points to the right.
