Reference no: EM132095763

Question: The air is less dense at higher elevations, so skydivers reach a high terminal speed. The highest recorded speed for a skydiver was achieved in a jump from a height of 39,000 m. At this elevation, the density of the air is only 4.3% of the surface density. Estimate the terminal speed of a skydiver at this elevation. Suppose that the density of air at sea level is 1.2 kg/m3, the mass of the skydiver is 75 kg , and the cross section area of the skydiver is 0.72 m2.
