1) He has both potential and kinetic energy
2) Before the parachute opens, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases
Explanation:
1)
The gravitational potential energy of a body is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in a gravitational field, and it is given by:
where
m is the mass of the body
g is the acceleration of gravity
h is the height of the body above the ground
On the other hand, the kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion; it is given by
where
v is the speed of the object
Here Mr. Leppold has both potential and kinetic energy before opening the parachute, because:
- It is moving at a certain speed, so , therefore he has kinetic energy
- He is at a certain height above the ground, , therefore he has potential energy
2)
The total mechanical energy of Mr.Leppold is the sum of the potential and the kinetic energy:
According to the law of conservation of energy, in absence of air resistance, this quantity remains constant.
During the fall, the height of Leppold decreases: this means that as decreases, the potential energy decreases too.
However, the total energy E must remain constant: therefore, this means that the kinetic energy KE must increase, and this occurs because the speed of Mr. Leppold increases as he falls.

Answer:
Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .
Explanation:
Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.
In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :
......(1)
Here is source wavelength,
is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.
Given :
Source wavelength, = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m
Observed wavelength, = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m
Substitute these values in the equation (1).
v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s
