Chapter 14, Problem 7RQ
Review Question 14.7 When a skydiver falls at constant terminal speed, shouldn't the magnitude of the resistive drag force that the air exerts on the skydiver be a little less than the magnitude of the downward gravitational force that Earth exerts on the diver? If they are equal, shouldn't the diver stop falling? Explain.

- The drag coefficient C in FD=12CAv2 (Eq. 6.5) depends primarily on the shape of the object. You already have developed an intuition about what shapes correspond to a low C by observing the shapes of aerodynamic cars, boats, and even bullets. Which object, a sphere or a cube, would have a larger drag coefficient, assuming they are nearly the same size? Explain your reasoning. What aspect of an object most determines its drag coefficient?arrow_forwardGive reasons for the answers to each of the following questions: (a) Clan a normal force be horizontal? (b) Can a normal force be directed vertically downward? (c) Consider a tennis ball in contact with a stationary floor and with nothing else. Can the normal force be different in magnitude from the gravitational force exerted on the ball? (d) Can the force exerted by the floor on the hall be different in magnitude from the force the ball exerts on the floor?arrow_forwardA student takes the elevator up to the fourth floor to see her favorite physics instructor. She stands on the floor of the elevator, which is horizontal. Both the student and the elevator are solid objects, and they both accelerate upward at 5.19 m/s2. This acceleration only occurs briefly at the beginning of the ride up. Her mass is 80.0 kg. What is the normal force exerted by the floor of the elevator on the student during her brief acceleration?arrow_forward
