Hi
I think the answer is:
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY TRANSFORMS INTO KINETIC ENERGY.
HOPE IT HELPS.

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.

When the body touches the ground two types of Forces will be generated. The Force product of the weight and the Normal Force. This is basically explained in Newton's third law in which we have that for every action there must also be a reaction. If the Force of the weight is pointing towards the earth, the reaction Force of the block will be opposite, that is, upwards and will be equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Therefore the correct answer is E.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. According to this concept, it is understood as the increase or decrease of the frequency of a sound wave when the source that produces it and the person who captures it move away from each other or approach each other. Mathematically this can be described as

$f = f_0 (\frac{v-v_0}{v})$
