The option “The sum emitting light energy” does not describe the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The potential energy, the object's energy at rest while the kinetic energy is the energy the object in motion. So among the options given, a rocket leaving the Earth's atmosphere consists of conversion of potential energy as the thrusting force to kinetic energy of the movement of the rocket to space.

Similarly the stretching of rubber band is a form of elastic potential energy and when it is released, the band will vibrate which will be the converted kinetic energy.

Also, the avalanche is the falling of ice berg which were once in rest, so the potential energy of the ice berg will get converted to kinetic energy during avalanche.

The option that is the sun emitting light does not convert potential to kinetic energy, instead it converts potential to light energy.

Answer:

a) 1.25e15 kg

b) 4.17e20 J

c) 44.55 years

Explanation:

To find the volume you need to multiply 218 km * 25 km * 250 m (be careful with units), so the volume is 1.3625e12 m^3, if you multiply this value by the density you will obtain the mass, that is 1.25e15 kg.

To find the energy needed to melt the ice, you use the latent heat, in this case, it is 3.34e5 J/kg. Now you multiply this value by the mass, so you need 4.17e20 J to melt the iceberg.

The surface area of the iceberg is 545e7 m^2, so the ice absorbs 594e9 W, one W is one J/s, so in 12 hours the iceberg absorbs 2.56e16 J, so in 365 days absorbs 9.36e18 J. Now you just divide 4.17e20 J by the amount f energy per year, and obtain 44.55 years.
