The pedestrian walkway on the Golden Gate Bridge is about 75 m above the water below. This bridge is (unfortunately) a popular spot for some unhappy people, who attempt to jump off. Ignore air drag and calculate (a) the time it takes for an object to fall from the bridge to the water and (b) the speed of the object just before it hits the water. Express your answer to (b) in meters per second and miles per hour, (c) Use Equation 3.22 to calculate the terminal velocity of a person. Will air drag be important for a person who jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge?
