Question

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, _____... is being done.
A. COMPRESSION
B. WORK
C. RADIATION

Answer 1

Answer;

-Work

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done.

Explanation;

• Work refers to the application of a given force over a distance. Thus, we can say work is the product of force and distance.
• Energy on the other hand is the ability of a body to change, its location, shape, or state of another body.
• According to the work-Energy principle, a change in the kinetic energy, which is the energy possessed by a body in motion, is equivalent to the net work done on the body.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Any activity which requires any physical or mental efforts in order to reach towards the result is known as work.

For example, when Jerome is swinging on a rope then he is doing a physical activity in which he is putting his efforts.

Thus, we can conclude that if Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done.
