I have to make up or find a problem that invovles free fall velocity AND relative velocity! Can anyone find/make up a problem for that? HELP!

SUMMARY
This discussion centers on creating a physics problem that incorporates both free fall and relative velocity concepts. A suggested scenario involves two skydivers, where one jumps from a plane a few seconds before the other. The velocities of the skydivers will approach terminal velocity, and the problem can include calculating the speed of the first skydiver from an inertial frame (the pilot's perspective) and the perceived speed from the second skydiver's viewpoint.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of free fall physics and terminal velocity
- Knowledge of relative velocity concepts
- Familiarity with inertial and non-inertial reference frames
- Basic calculus for solving motion equations
- Research the equations of motion for free fall and terminal velocity
- Explore relative velocity calculations in different reference frames
- Study examples of problems involving multiple objects in free fall
- Learn about the effects of air resistance on falling objects
Students studying physics, educators creating problem sets, and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of free fall and relative motion.
