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.

Starting at 1.0 m/s, a cheetah runs with a constant acceleration for 4.8 s reaching a speed of 28 m/s. What is the acceleration

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

c. $5.6m/s^2$

Explanation:

Initial velocity of cheetah,u=1 m/s

Time taken by cheetah =4.8 s

Final velocity of cheetah,v=28 m/s

We have to find the acceleration of this cheetah.

We know that

Acceleration, $a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

Where v=Final velocity of object

u=Initial velocity of object

t=Time taken by object

Using the formula

Then, we get

Acceleration, a= $\frac{28-1}{4.8}=\frac{27}{4.8} m/s^2$

Acceleration= $a=5.6 m/s^2$

Hence, the acceleration of cheetah= $5.6m/s^2$

What is meant by the statement,the linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature of copper is 0.000017k

Explanation:

Given that :

The linear expansivity of copper is 0.000017k. This simply means that ; for a given copper length, the length of such copper will increase by 0.000017k for every degree rose in temperature of the copper rod.

Therefore, the change in length per unit length per degree rise in temperature (k) is 0.000017

Nady [450]

Answer:

(a) 1.939 m/h

(b) 0.926 m/h

(d) -1.21 m/h

Explanation:

Here, we have the water depth given by the function of time;

D(t) = 7 + 5·cos[0.503(t-6.75)]

Therefore, to find the velocity of the depth displacement with time, we differentiate the given expression with respect to time as follows;

D'(t) = $\frac{d(7 + 5\cdot cos[0.503(t-6.75)])}{dt}$

= 5×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))×0.503

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503×t-3.395))

Therefore we have;

(a) at 5:00 AM = 5 - 0:00 = 5

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×5-3.395)) = 1.939 m/h

(b) at 6:00 AM = 6 - 0:00 = 6

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×6-3.395)) = 0.926 m/h

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×7-3.395)) = -0.315 m/h

(d) at Noon 12:00 PM = 12 - 0:00 = 12

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×12-3.395)) = -1.21 m/h.
