If a 75 kg person and a 200 kg crate were launched out of a plane at the same time which one would reach terminal velocity first?

As Galileo demonstrated, acceleration is independent of mass, therefore, they would reach terminal velocity at the same time. This is, of course, ignoring air friction.

A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity during this 5 second interval her acceleration?
the crate will reach terminal velocity last, but hit the ground frist.
How does the path of the crate appear to somebody on the airplane and to someone on the ground when a crate is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at constant speed?
Person on the airplane: Crate will appear to be dropping straight down. Person on the ground: Crate will be curving in the direction the plane is moving.
A 33 kg crate rests on a horizontal floor and a 58 kg person is standing on the crate Determine the magnitude of the normal force that the floor exerts on the crate.?
891.8 newtons.
When a person pushes a crate across the floor what is the effect?
It goes across.
If a 75 kg person and a 200 kg crate were launched out of a plane at the same time which one would hit the ground first?
Impossible to say for certain as it would depend on air resistance. Assuming the person is conscious, he could choose to assume a diving position (in which case he'd probably fall faster than the crate since he'd be more streamlined) or a "belly flop" position (in which case he'd probably fall slower than the crate since he'd be less streamlined). If this were done in a vacuum they'd hit at the same time. Then again, if it were done in a vacuum, a plane is going to have a really hard time flying.

How much is a heated crate for animals to rent?
It really depends. On the person and the type of crate. I think you need to be alot more specsific about that one im afraid. Also depends on the size of the crate. Type of animal..... You get the point. Sorry.

When a person pushes a crate across the floor what force is working in reaction to the pushing force?
friction
A crate is at rest on the ground what force or forces are acting on the crate?
The weight of the crate is acting downward on the ground and the ground is exerting a force equal to the weight of the crate upward on the crate.
What is a collapsible crate used for?
A collapsible crate is used for transporting things which would be hard to get out of a regular crate. A collapsible crate can be made flat by folding out all of the sides of the crate.
Where are crate snakes found?
the crate snakes are found in deserts when they bite someone that person goes into a lock down they can only blink,move a finger or toe. only ur mind is conchies!
If a crate is stationary on an incline does it mean that it is in the state of equilibrium?
If a crate placed on an inclined plane is moving at constant velocity or not moving at all -- which is really a special case of constant velocity where the velocity is zero -- then the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. We can say that it is in a state of equilibrium, where all forces acting upon it are in perfect balance and cancel themselves out. A free-body diagram is often used to represent a body and the forces acting upon it and helps us visualize the relationship of the vector forces.

What is the plural of crate?
The plural of crate is crates.
