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)
Hope this helps

I’ve done this before the answer is B
Answer:
A) 31 kJ
B) 1.92 KJ
C) 40 , 2.48
Explanation:
weight of person ( m ) = 79 kg
height of jump ( h ) = 0.510 m
Compression of joint material ( d ) = 1.30 cm ≈ 0.013 m
A) calculate the force
Fd = mgh
F = mgh / d
W = mg
F(net) = W + F = mg ( 1 + 
= 79 * 9.81 ( 1 + (0.51 / 0.013) )
= 774.99 ( 40.231 ) ≈ 31 KJ
B) calculate the force when the stopping distance = 0.345 m
d = 0.345 m
Fd = mgh hence F = mgh / d
F(net) = W + F = mg ( 1 + 
= 79 * 9.81 ( 1 + (0.51 / 0.345) )
= 774.99 ( 2.478 ) = 1.92 KJ
C) Ratio of force in part a with weight of person
= 31000 / ( 79 * 9.81 ) = 31000 / 774.99 = 40
Ratio of force in part b with weight of person
= 1920 / 774.99 = 2.48
True because the atmosphere is in the way
