A 540-g squirrel with a surface area of 910 cm2 falls
from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity.
(Use the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that
the cross-sectional area of the squirrel can be approximated as a
rectangle of width 11.4cm and length 22.8 cm. Note, the squirrel
may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground.
Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits
the ground.)

What will be the velocity of a 54.0-kg person hitting the ground,
assuming no drag contribution in such a short distance?

A spherical raindrop 1.9 mm in diameter falls through a vertical distance of 4150 m. Take the cross-sectional area of a raindrop = πr2, drag coefficient = 0.45, density of water to be 1000 kg/m3, and density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3. (a) Calculate the speed a spherical raindrop would achieve falling from 4150 m in the absence of air drag. _________ m/s (b) What would its speed be at the end of 4150 m when there is air...
