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

A 26-kg sled is on a snow-covered slope. The coefficients of friction between the sled’s runners and the snow are µs = 0.096 and µ
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of sled =26 kg

coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.096

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.072

In order to move sled from rest we need to provide a force greater than static friction which is given by

f_s=\mu mg=0.096\times 26\times 9.8=24.46 N

After Moving Sled kinetic friction comes in to play which is less than static friction

f_k=\mu _kmg=0.072\times 26\times 9.8=18.34 N

therefore minimum force to keep moving sledge at constant velocity is 18.34 N

A car moves round a circular track of radius 0.3m of two revolution per/sec find its angular velocity.
Pie

Answer:

the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular track, r = 0.3 m

number of revolutions  per second made by the car, ω = 2 rev/s

The angular velocity of the car in radian per second is calculated as;

From the given data, we convert the angular velocity in revolution per second to radian per second.

\omega = 2 \ \frac{rev}{s} \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} = 4\pi \ rad/s = 12.568 \ rad/s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the car is 12.568 rad/s.
