If no frictional work is considered, then the energy of the system (the driver at all positions is conserved.
Let
position 1 = initial height of the diver (h₁), together with the initial velocity (v₁).
position 2 = final height of the diver (h₂) and the final velocity (v₂).
The initial PE = mgh₁ and the initial KE = (1/2)mv₁²
where g = acceleration due to gravity,
m = mass of the diver.
Similarly, the final PE and KE are respectively mgh₂ and (1/2)mv₂².
PE in position 1 is converted into KE due to the loss in height from position 1 to position 2.
Therefore
(KE + PE) ₁ = (KE + PE)₂
Evaluate the given answers.
A) The total mechanical energy of the system increases.
FALSE
B) Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy but not vice versa.
TRUE
C) (KE + PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end.
TRUE
D) All of the above.
FALSE
AAaaahh yes, T'was that a lovely chap by the name of Copernicus, has discovered us a little secret, well. why dont you share?
Copernicus: well uh, i'm a bit shy
ME: who a gives a flying *bleep* about your feelings man! just man up an discover the earth's rotation already!
Answer:
0.78333 m/s in the opposite direction
1.566 m/s in the same direction
Explanation:
= Mass of penny = 0.0025 kg
= Mass of nickel = 0.005 kg
= Initial Velocity of penny = 2.35 m/s
= Initial Velocity of nickel = 0 m/s
= Final Velocity of penny
= Final Velocity of nickel
As momentum and Energy is conserved


From the two equations we get

The final velocity of the penny is 0.78333 m/s in the opposite direction

The final velocity of the nickel is 1.566 m/s in the same direction
