A fighter jet of mass 12 500 kg12\,500\text{ kg}12500 kg is landing on an aircraft carrier deck at a speed of 64 m/s64\text{ m/s}64 m/s before its arresting hook catches a steel cable, bringing it to a complete stop.
Calculate the kinetic energy stored by the jet when it is travelling at 64 m/s64\text{ m/s}64 m/s.
Describe the energy transfer that takes place as the arresting cable brakes the jet and brings it to a complete stop.
The jet is brought to a stop over a distance of 95 m95\text{ m}95 m. Calculate the average retarding force exerted by the arresting cable on the jet. Give your answer to 4 significant figures.
