Two skydivers are holding on to each other while falling straight down at a common terminal speed of 60.70 m/s. Suddenly, they push away from each other. Immediately after separation, the first skydiver, who has a mass m1 of 94.80 kg, has a velocity v1 with the following components ("straight down" corresponds to the positive z-axis). v1,x=4.930 m/s v1,y=4.250 m/s v1,z=60.70 m/s What are the x- and y-components of the velocity v2 of the second skydiver, whose mass m2 is 63.20 kg, immediately after separation? Assume that there are no horizontal forces of air resistance acting on the skydivers. v2,x = __ m/s v2,y = __ m/s What is the change in kinetic energy of the system ΔK,system? ΔK,system = __ joules

Question

Two skydivers are holding on to each other while falling straight down at a common terminal speed of 60.70 m/s. Suddenly, they push away from each other. Immediately after separation, the first skydiver, who has a mass m1 of 94.80 kg, has a velocity v1 with the following components ("straight down" corresponds to the positive z-axis).

v1,x=4.930 m/s v1,y=4.250 m/s v1,z=60.70 m/s

What are the x- and y-components of the velocity v2 of the second skydiver, whose mass m2 is 63.20 kg, immediately after separation?

Assume that there are no horizontal forces of air resistance acting on the skydivers.

v2,x = __ m/s

v2,y = __ m/s

What is the change in kinetic energy of the system ΔK,system?

ΔK,system = __ joules
