Answer:

Gravitational potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.

Explanation:

It is given that, we have to write energy transformation occurs when a skydiver first jumps from a plane.

Just before jumping from the plane, the skydive exhibit only gravitational potential energy because it is possessed due to height of an object. It can be given by :

PE = m g h

m is the mass of object

g is acceleration due to gravity

h is the height form the surface

As he reaches down, its potential energy decreases continuously and it is converting to kinetic energy. It can be given by :

KE = 0.5 mv²

V is the velocity of object

So, it is clear that the gravitational potential energy si transforms to kinetic energy.

From among the choices provided, the better choice is the upper-case letter '<em>T </em>'. That symbol can conveniently be used to represent the words "true" or "truth", which is exactly the reason that it is the better choice for a response, since the complicated statement at the beginning of the question is completely true in its every detail, nuance, jot and tittle.

A pipe with cross-sectional area 2.0 m^2 is joined to a second pipe with cross-sectional area 0.5 m^2. The pipes are both comple

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

$v_2=8\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of cross section of the pipe, $A_1=2\ m^2$

Area of cross section of the another pipe, $A_2=0.5\ m^2$

Speed of water in first pipe, $v_1=2\ m/s$

To find,

Speed of the water flowing in the second pipe.

Solve,

Let $v_2$ is the speed of water flowing in the second pipe. The relation between the area of cross section and the velocity is given by the continuity equation. It is given by :

$A_1v_1=A_2v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{A_1v_1}{A_2}$

$v_2=\dfrac{2\times 2}{0.5}$

$v_2=8\ m/s$

Therefore, the water is flowing in the second pipe at the rate of 8 m/s.

Areas near large bodies of water usually have extreme changes in temperature. *<br> True<br> False

Brrunno [24]

True, Large bodies of water change temperature slower than land masses. Land masses near large bodies of water, especially oceans, change temperature as the oceans change temperature: slower and with less extreme fluctuations than land masses farther away.
