You bail out of a helicopter and pull the ripcord of your parachute. Now the air resistance proportionality constant is kequals1.73, so your downward velocity satisfies the initial value problem below, where v is measured in ft/s and t in seconds. In order to investigate your chances of survival, construct a slope field for this differential equation and sketch the appropriate solution curve. What will your limiting velocity be? Will a strategically located haystack do any good? How long will it take you to reach 95% of your limiting velocity. StartFraction dv Over dt EndFraction equals32 minus 1.73 v, v(0)equals0

Chemical energy sources are often portable and provide large amounts of energy. fossil fuels are one kind of chemical energy source. most of the energy we use in the united states is generated by the combustion of fossil fuels. however, fossil fuel combustion adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, mostly co2. one measure of the total amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere each year is called a carbon footprint. read this article to compare the carbon footprint of an average person in the united states to an average person around the world. knowing that greenhouse gases are contributing to climate change, how can we reduce our carbon footprint, particularly in the united states? could hydrogen fuel replace fossil fuels in the future? why or why not? should the size of a person’s carbon footprint be limited by law? why or why not?
