Matt weighs 60kg and his son, Rob weighs 30kg. They both run a 100m race and finish the race running at 5m/s. Who has more Kinetic Energy at the end of the race?

Kinetic energy is given by the equation:K.E. = 0.5mv2Therefore Matt has Kinetic energy:K.E. (Matt) = 0.5*(60)(5)2 = 750JAnd Rob has Kinetic energy:K.E. (Rob) = 0.5(30)*(5)

Describe the forces acting on a skydiver over time, from the moment she jumps out of the plane until hitting the ground and the effect this has on her velocity. What happens when she opens her parachute?

When the skydiver first steps out of the plane, she accelerates downwards at a high rate. At first the resultant force on her is large since gravity pulls her down, but since she is moving slowly the forc...
