3) A sky diver with a mass of 70kg jumps from an aircraft. The aerodynamic drag force acting on
the sky diver is known to be Fd=kV^2, where k=0.25N*s^2/m^2. Determine the maximum speed
of free fall for the sky diver and the speed reached after 100m of fall. Plot the speed of the sky
diver as a function of time and as a function of distance fallen
Un paracaidista con una masa de 70 kg salta desde un avión. Se sabe que la fuerza de arrastre
aerodinámica que actúa sobre el paracaidista es Fd = kV ^ 2, donde k = 0.25N * s ^ 2 / m ^ 2.
Determine la velocidad máxima de caída libre para el paracaidista y la velocidad alcanzada
después de 100 m de caída. Grafique la velocidad del paracaidista en función del tiempo y en
función de la distancia recorrida.
La velocidad máxima se alcanza cuando la fuerza de arrastre y el peso están en equilibrio, por lo
tanto:
the maximum speed is reached when the drag force and the weight are at
equilibrium, therefore:
(1)
consider the next equation of motion:
(2)
joining (1) and (2):
(3)
To plot velocity as a function of distance, just plot equation (3).
To plot velocity as a function of time, you have to consider the next
equation of motion:
solving for v:
Plots:

5) For a small particle of Styrofoam ( 1 lbm/ft33) (Spherical, with diameter d = 0.3 mm)
falling in standard air at speed V, the drag is given by FD=3πμVdFD=3πμVd, where μμ is
the air viscosity.
Find the maximum speed starting from rest, and the time it takes to reach 95% of this
speed. Plot the speed as a function of time..
6) In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1×10-13 slug) are dropped
in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag force of these
particles is given by FD=kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the
constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.
1)
The particle experiences two forces during its fall:
- The force of gravity, , pointing downward, where m is the mass of the
particle and g is the acceleration of gravity
- The drag force, , pointing upward, where k is a constant and v is the
instantaneous speed of the particle
When the particle reaches its terminal speed, the acceleration becomes
zero: this means that the net force is also zero, so the two forces are
balanced. Therefore we can write
where is the terminal velocity. We have the following data:
2) 28.6 ms
We now want to find the time at which the particle reaches 99 % of the
terminal speed, so a speed of
So the acceleration is
We want to find the time t at which v = 0.198 ft/s, so we now need to re-
arrange the formula for t. This gives:
