The man trying to set the new world record for fastest falling human is planning to jump from rest and reach a speed of 770 mi/hr.
-
(a) Determine how much time it will take to reach that speed.
-
(b) Determine how far he will fall to reach that speed.
-
(c) If the first man to perform the jump jumped from 100,000 feet and the new guy is going to jump from 120,000 feet, do you think he will set the record? (Use your answer from b to help justify your answer. Also, 1 meter = 3.3 feet)
Remember: For full credit, you need to include the diagram, mathematics, and explanation to fill the entire page. For the explanation, remember to explain how you knew which equation to use and whether your answer seems reasonable. Also, be careful with the units here. Are mi/hr standard units?
