A falling package with a parachute is greatly affected by air resistance. Suppose a package (m = 25 kg), dropped from an altitude of y = 1500 m, hits the ground at a speed of v = 45 m/s. Calculate the work done by air resistance. By conservation of energy, the initial total mechanical energy is equal to the final total mechanical energy. Let K be the kinetic energy, U be the gravitational potential energy, and Wair be the work done by the drag force from air resistance.
