Qualitative Questions: A person standing on the edge of a cliff, at some height above the ground below, throws one ball straight up with initial speed u and then throws another ball straight down with the same initial speed. Which ball, if either, has the larger speed when it hits the ground? Neglect air resistance. When a skydiver jumps out of a plane there are two forces acting on him – a constant force due to gravity and varying force due to air resistance. His acceleration is given by a = g – bv2 where g is the acceleration due to gravity, v is his velocity and b is a constant (the co-efficient of drag). When he jumps from the plane he falls some thousands of feet before opening his parachute. What factors affect the value of b, the coefficient of drag? What happens to the value of b when he opens his parachute? Draw a sketch of the skydiver’s velocity as a function of time. Draw a sketch of the skydiver’s acceleration as a function of time. B. Activity Questions: Accelerometer Pull the accelerometer at a constant speed. What does it show? Why? Now accelerate it forwards. What do you observe? Allow the accelerometer to roll freely on a rough surface, for example the carpet. What does it show as it s
