Feedback You’re off to a good start. A course grade of 70% is required to request a transcript. You’ve met that for the first exam already, but if you want to
reattempt for a higher grade you can retake this assessment (only the first graded assessment in this course can be retaken). Study hard for each
exam, and consider using tutoring anytime you get stuck. Remember that 10 hours of tutoring are provided to you through your StraighterLine
membership.
Question 1
What is the acceleration of a skydiver at terminal velocity whose mass is 80 kg and cross-sectional area is 14 m2. The density of the air he is falling
Correct through is 0.9984 g / m3. The drag coe_cient has a value of 0.485.

Select one:
a. 606.2487 m
b. 606 m
c. 605.5 m
d. 606.249 m
The correct answer is: 606 m
Question 3
Which of the following statements concerning an object in free fall through the atmosphere is incorrect?
Correct
6.00 points out Select one:
of 6.00 Air resistance opposes the motion of an object moving through air and exists because a moving object collides with air molecules.
The speed of a falling object increases due to the frictional force of air drag.
Given two spherical objects made of the same material and dropped from the same height, the one with the larger cross-sectional area will
experience increased air resistance.
When the magnitude of the air drag equals that of the object's weight, the net force on the object is zero. The object then falls with a
maximum constant velocity called the terminal velocity.
The correct answer is: The speed of a falling object increases due to the frictional force of air drag.
