Consider this situation: A skydiver is falling towards the ground at a constant speed. Of the forces listed, identify
which act upon the skydiver.

Under the action of a constant force an object accelerates at 7.8 m/s2. what will the acceleration be if (a) the force is halved? (b) the object's mass is halved? (c) the force and the object's mass are both halved? (d) the force is halved and the object's mass is doubled?

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)

Abird flies directly overhead from where you stand at an altitude of 300.0 m and at a speed horizontal to the ground of 20.0 m/s. the bird has a mass of 2.0 kg. the radius vector to the bird makes an angle \thetaθ with respect to the ground. the radius vector to the bird and its momentum vector lie in the xyxy-plane. what is the bird’s angular momentum about the point where you are standing?
