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.

Answer:

The magnitude of induced emf in the conducting loop is 0.99 mV.

Explanation:

Rate of increase in magnetic field per unit time = 0.090 T/s

Area of the conducting loop = 110 cm^2 = 0.0110 m^2

Electromagnetic induction is the production of an emf or voltage in a coil of wire due to a changing magnetic field through the coil.

Induced e.m.f is given as:

EMF = (-N*change in magnetic field/time)*Area

EMF = rate of change of magnetic field per unit time * Area

EMF = 0.090 * 0.0110

EMF = 0.00099 V

EMF = 0.99 mV

A grinding wheel is a uniform cylinder with a radius of 8.65 cm and a mass of 0.400 kg . Calculate its moment of inertia about i

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

I = 1.5*10⁻³ kg*m²

Explanation:

It can be showed that the moment of inertia (or rotational inertia) for a uniform cylinder of mass m and radius r, respect an longitudinal axis going through its center (parallel to the height of the cylinder) can be written as follows:

$I = \frac{1}{2}*m*r^{2} = \frac{1}{2}*0.400 kg*(0.0865m)^{2} = 1.5e-3 kg*m2$

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If this is true then why are we always

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics states in an isolated system, the entropy (the amount of thermal energy that cannot be converted into mechanical work, also known as the amount of disorder) always increases, therefore, an isolated system always require an external input (new sources) of energy for there to be orderliness or for the available energy of the system to remain constant or increase

What separates the terrestrial planets from the jovian or gas planets in space?

Flura [38]

In our solar system, terrestrial planets are separated from the gas giants by the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids are located. Gas giants do not have a solid surface and possible a small rocky core. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Consider an experiment in which slow neutrons of momentum ¯hk are scattered by a diatomic molecule; suppose that the molecule is

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When we have an object in periodic motion, the amplitude will be the maximum displacement from equilibrium. Take for example, when there’s a back and forth movement of a pendulum through its equilibrium point (straight down), then swings to a highest distance away from the center. This distance will be represented as the amplitude, A. The full range of the pendulum has a magnitude of 2A.

position = amplitude x sine function(angular frequency x time + phase difference)

x = A sin(ωt + ϕ)

x = displacement (m)

A = amplitude (m)

ω = angular frequency (radians/s)

t = time (s)

ϕ = phase shift (radians)
