Let's explore the assumptions we made. Look closely at Jessie's motion as she runs. In calculating her power output, we assumed that the work she did was equal to the work done by the force of gravity on her body. Do you think that is a good assumption

No, it is not a good assumption

Explanation:

From the given information:

The work Jessie did was quite more than the work done by the force of gravity. This is because the gravity of the force on her body is perpendicular to its motion and the work done by Jessie is due to the muscular force of her body. Hence, the total power she produced is more than the calculated amount.

it is called kinetic energy

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
