An airplane pilot fell 340 m after jumping from an aircraft without his parachute opening. He landed in a snowbank, creating a crater 1.30 m deep, but survived with only minor injuries. a) Assuming the pilot's mass was 94.0 kg and his terminal velocity was 45.0 m/s , estimate the work done by the snow in bringing him to rest. Model him as a particle. b) Estimate the average force exerted on him by the snow to stop him. c)...
In World War II, there were several reported cases of airmen who jumped from their flaming airplanes with no parachute to escape certain death. Some fell about 21,161 feet (6450 m), and some of them survived, with few life threatening injuries. For these lucky pilots, the tree branches and snow drifts on the ground allowed their deceleration to be relatively small. If we assume that a pilot's speed upon impact was 116 mph (52 m/s), then what was his deceleration...
