4. A skydiver with a mass of 70 kg jumps out of a plane from a height of 4000.0 m. After falling freely for 1500 m, they deploy their parachute. The parachute creates a constant upward force and the skydiver accelerates at a rate of 7.5 m/s² [upward], eventually reaching a terminal velocity of 14 m/s [downwards). The skydiver then falls to the ground at a constant speed for the rest of the dive. How long does it take for the skydiver to reach the ground?

What is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the bottle?
A worker pushes a 35.0-kg package on a horizontal roller-belt conveyor until it reaches a certain speed. The package then coasts on the horizontal conveyor, all the while slowing down, until it comes to a complete stop after moving 1.20 m.
