21PRACTICE PROBLEM
Consider a skydiver with a mass of 70.0 kg falling vertically from a plane. As the skydiver descends, they experience air resistance, which increases as their velocity increases. The drag force acting on the skydiver can be described by the equation FD = −cv2, where v is the velocity of the skydiver and c is the drag coefficient. Determine the terminal velocity of the skydiver.
