Earning goal: to be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
if an object undergoes displacement while being acted upon by a force (or several forces), it is said that work is being done on the object. if the object is moving in a straight line and the displacement and the force are known, the work done by the force can be calculated as
w= f*s=/f/ /s/ cosθ
,
where w is the work done by force f on the object that undergoes displacement s directed at angle θ relative to f .
note that depending on the value of cosθ, the work done can be positive, negative, or zero.
in this problem, you will practice calculating work done on an object moving in a straight line. the first series of questions is related to the accompanying figure. (intro 1 figure)

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s
