B) gravitational to kinetic

Explanation:

The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is

B) gravitational to kinetic

3. If a vector that is 1 cm long represents a
prisoha [69]

Answer:

A velocity of 20 \: km/h

Explanation:

Since the magnitude of the vector is equal to the magnitude of velocity, velocity of the 2 cm vector represents a velocity of $10\times 2= 20 \: km/h$.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

<h2>30 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 15 × 2

We have the final answer as

<h3>30 N</h3>

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 1.4 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of crown glass that has a thickness of 3.0 cm. Light
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

t = 2.13 10-10 s , d = 6.39 cm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the definition of refractive index

        n = c / v

Where n is the refraction index, c the speed of light and v the speed in the material medium.

The refractive indices of ice and crown glass are 1.13 and 1.52, respectively, therefore the speed of the beam in the material medium is

        v = c / n

As the beam strikes perpendicularly, the beam path is equal to the distance of the leaves, there is no refraction, so we can use the uniform motion relationships

        v = d / t

        t = d / v

        t = d n / c

Let's look for the times on each sheet

Ice

        t₁ = 1.4 10⁻² 1.31 / 3 10⁸

        t₁ = 0.6113 10⁻¹⁰ s

Crown glass (BK7)

        t₂ = 3.0 10⁻² 1.52 / 3.0 10⁸

        t₂ = 1.52 10⁻¹⁰ s

Time is a scalar therefore it is additive

         t = t₁ + t₂

         t = (0.6113 + 1.52) 10⁻¹⁰

         t = 2.13 10-10 s

The distance traveled by this time in a vacuum would be

        d = c t

       d = 3 10⁸ 2.13 10⁻¹⁰

       d = 6.39 10⁻² m

       d = 6.39 cm

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J
