Physics: A500-g squirrel with a surface area of 1020 square centimeters falls from a 5.5-meter tall tree to the ground. what is its terminal velocity? (use the drag coefficient of a horizontal skydiver, and assume that the density of the air is 1.16 kg/m33).

Terminal velocity will be 9.10 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of squirrel m = 500 gram = 0.5 kg

Area A=1020cm^2=0.1020m^2

Density is given as $\rho =1.16kg/m^3$

We have to find the terminal velocity

Terminal velocity is given by $v=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho CA}}$ , here m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity , C is drag coefficient, $\rho$ is density

Here value of drag coefficient C = 1

So terminal velocity $v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.500\times 9.81}{1.16\times 1\times 0.1020}}=9.10m/sec$
