A72 kg skydiver can be modeled as a rectangular "box" with dimensions 21 cm × 41 cm × 170 cm . if he falls feet first, his drag coefficient is 0.80. part a what is his terminal speed if he falls feet first? use ρ = 1.2 kg/m3 for the density of air at room temperature.

Formula for terminal velocity is:

Vt = √(2mg/ρACd) 
Vt = terminal velocity = ?
m = mass of the falling object = 72 kg
g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2
Cd = drag coefficient = 0.80
ρ = density of the fluid/gas = 1.2 kg/m^3
A = projected area of the object (feet first) = 0.21 m * 0.41 m = 0.0861 m^2

Therefore:

Vt =  √(2 * 72 * 9.81 / 1.2 * 0.0861 * 0.80) 

Vt = 130.73 m/s

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

dang that balls went far
