Why is Reverse thrust more effective at higher airspeeds?
From "handling The Big Jets" by D.P.Davies.

Reverse thrust is much more effective at high aircraft speeds than low speeds for two reasons. Firstly, the net amount of reverse thrust increases with speed because the acceleration imposed on the (constant) mass flow is greater. This is because the aircraft forward speed is additional when in reverse thrust as opposed to subtractional when in forward thrust. Secondly the power produced is higher at higher speeds because of the increased rate of doing work. In this context it means that the kinetic energy of the aeroplane is being destroyed at a higher rate at higher airspeeds.
