Question

Assuming the pilot's mass was 95.0 kg and his terminal velocity was 40.0 m/s , estimate the work done by the snow in bringing him to rest. Model him as a particle.

Answer 1

7.6*10^4J

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that m=95kg

Final velocity= 40m/s

Using W=0.5 m (square of (final velocity) - square of (initial velocity))

= 0.5 * 95 * Squared of (40)

= 7.6*10^4J
