Why do skydivers reach a top speed?

as a skydiver falls to the earth,there is air friction in the opposite direction to the force of gravity pulling him towards the earth. As he falls to earth he reaches a higher & higher speed up until the point at which the force of friction caused by air (upwards) is the same as or equals the force of gravity (downwards) and he cannot accelerate any further..ie he reaches a top speed

What is the velocity of a 20 kg cheetah running when that cheetah has 1000 J of kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the formula ( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 ), where ( m ) is the mass and ( v ) is the velocity. For a 20 kg cheetah with 1000 J of kinetic energy, we can rearrange the formula to solve for velocity:

[ v = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times KE}{m}} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 1000 , J}{20 , kg}} = \sqrt{100} = 10 , m/s. ]

Thus, the velocity of the cheetah is 10 meters per second.

How far can a cheetah travel in 10 seconds?

The Cheetah is the fastest land animal. It can travel between 112 to 120 kilometers per hour. It can go from 0 to 100 km/hr in three seconds.
