Mass (m)=55kg

acceleration (a)=9.81 m/s^2, this is the acceleration due to gravity.

initial velocity=0m/s. The skydiver doesn’t start with any speed because she is on the plane or helicopter.

final velocity=16m/s This is the velocity (speed) the skydiver reaches

The equation we use is KE=.5mv^2
Kinetic energy=.5 mass x velocity^2

KE=.5(55kg)(16m/s)^2
KE=.5(55kg)(256m/s)
KE=.5(14080J)

J=Joules

KE=7040J

Kinetic energy is 7040 Joules (J)

-- There are three pairs of mass with gravitational forces between them.

-- The distances between the masses are the same for each pair.

-- The only other quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational
force is the product of the masses.

-- The product of the masses is greatest for the apple and the watermelon,
so the strength of the gravitational force between them is the greatest.
