A 580 N skydiver in free fall is accelerating at -8.8 m/s^2 rather than -9.81 m/s^2 because of the force of air resistance. How much drag force is acting on the skydiver?
A squid is able to use a type of jet propulsion to accelerate away from predators by ejecting water from its own body at very high rates of speed. A typical squid can reach a velocity of 8.0 m/s in just 0.35 seconds from rest. If the thrust force on the squid is 30.0 N, what is the mass of the squid?
