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.

Which is a possible measurement of the momentum of a moving object?
Delvig [45]

Momentum is a vector, although we don't hammer on that.  In order to completely describe a momentum, you need a magnitude AND a direction ... just like force and velocity.

So choice #2 is the magnitude of a momentum, without its direction.

<em>Choice #3</em> is  the full package, with both the magnitude and the direction.

Choice #1 has units of energy, and choice #4 has units of acceleration, so neither of those can be it.

How much energy (in joules) is required to evaporate 0.0005 kg of liquid ammonia to vapor at the same temperature?
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

685.6 J

Explanation:

The latent heat of vaporization of ammonia is

L = 1371.2 kJ/kg

mass of ammonia, m = 0.0005 Kg

Heat = mass x latent heat of vaporization

H = 0.0005 x 1371.2

H = 0.686 kJ

H = 685.6 J

Thus, the amount of heat required to vaporize the ammonia is 685.6 J.
