Question

In The movie point break johnnies Utah (14085 kg) jumps out of a plane skydiving if johnnie feel from a height of 2100m with what speed would he have hit the ground with IF his parachute had not opened

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

His POTENTIAL energy ( mgh) would be entirely converted to Kinetic energy (1/2 m v^2) just before SPLAT ! ( ignoring air friction)

mgh = 1/2 m v^2

gh = 1/2 v^2

v = sqrt (2 * g * h) = sqrt ( 2* 9.81 * 2100) = ~ 203 m/s
