6 A parachutist of total mass 75 kg jumps from an aeroplane moving at a speed of 60 m/s at a height of 900 m above the ground. a Calculate her kinetic energy when she left the aeroplane. [2 marks] b Her parachute reduced her speed of descent to 5 m/s. i Calculate her kinetic energy at this speed. [2 marks] ii Calculate the decrease in her gravitational potential energy store as a result of her descent. the work done by air resistance [2 marks] c Calculate her descent. during [2 marks]
