The woman was standing on a cliff 30 meters above where she landed. There was a safety fence 4 meters from the cliff edge that would have prevented her from taking a long distance to run and leap off the cliff. She landed 12 meters away from the base of the cliff. Her launch speed was calculated to be 4.86 m/s, meaning that to travel those 12 meters, she had to be traveling at 10.87 miles per hour (or moving faster than a runner at a 5.5 minute mile pace) as she left the cliff. Put all this information together. Why did forensic scientists determine that the woman’s body was thrown instead of concluding that she jumped off the cliff?

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s
