In the Olympics, the stone used in curling is about 20kg in mass and is launched down the ice at around 2 meters per second. The sweepers slow the stone down to 0.5 m/s just before it contacts the opponents stone. What is it’s KE at this point

Awoodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j
