Quesiton: A skydiver of mass m jumps from a hot air balloon and falls a distance d before reaching a terminal velocity of magnitude v . Assume that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is g .
- What is the work (Wd) done on the skydiver, over the distance , by the drag force of the air?
- Find the power (P d) supplied by the drag force after the skydiver has reached terminal velocity v.
