QUESTION 5 A falling body on Earth will generally not fall at constant acceleration in reality, due to air resistance (or drag). The equation for the drag force Fd is Fd=0.5 (Cd A) pv² where Cd is the unitless drag coefficient of a body (which depends on the body's density and other properties). A is its cross- sectional area as it falls, p is the density of the air, and vis the body's velocity with respect to the atmosphere. Now, you may need to look up a couple of things to get a reasonable answer here, but anyway: The drag force on a person falling belly-first (as shown) at a speed of 30.0 m/s through the atmosphere is approximately O 500 N O 50 N 05N O 5000 N

QUESTION 5
A falling body on Earth will generally not fall at constant acceleration in reality, due to air resistance (or drag). The equation
for the drag force Fd is
Fd=0.5 (Cd A) p v²
where Cd is the unitless drag coefficient of a body (which depends on the body's density and other properties). A is its cross-
sectional area as it falls, p is the density of the air, and v is the body's velocity with respect to the atmosphere. Now, you may
need to look up a couple of things to get a reasonable answer here, but anyway:
The drag force on a person falling belly-first (as shown) at a speed of 30.0 m/s through the atmosphere is approximately
500 N
