Trampolin --> elastic potential energy

Elastic potential energy is the form of energy stored in an elastic object, such that the trampoline.

Chemical substance --> chemical potential energy

Chemical potential energy is the form of energy stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules, and it is released when the substance reacts and releases heat.

The skydiver --> gravitational potential energy

Gravitational potential energy is the form of energy possessed by an object located at a certain height above the ground - in this case, the skydiver, which is at a very high altitude above the ground.

The trampoline one would be for the elastic answer, the chemical one would be for the chemical answer, and the last one would be for the gravitational one :)

A parachutist bails out and freely falls 50 m. Then the parachute opens, and thereafter she deceler- ates at 2.0 m/s2. She reach
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

a)The parachutist in the air for 12.63 seconds.

b)The parachutist falls from a height of 293 meter.

Explanation:

Vertical motion of  parachutist:

 Initial speed, u = 0m/s

 Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

 Displacement, s = 50 m

 We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

 Substituting

   v² = 0² + 2 x 9.81 x 50

    v = 31.32 m/s

 Time taken for this

          31.32 = 0 + 9.81 x t

            t = 3.19 s

 After 50m we have

 Initial speed, u = 31.32m/s

 Acceleration, a = -2 m/s²

 Final speed , v = 3 m/s

 We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

 Substituting

   3² = 31.32² - 2 x 2 x s

    s = 243 m

 Time taken for this

          3 = 31.32 - 2 x t

            t = 9.44 s

a) Total time = 3.19 +  9.44 = 12.63 s

    The parachutist in the air for 12.63 seconds.

b) Total height = 50 + 243 = 293 m

    The parachutist falls from a height of 293 meter.

Why a magnetic compass is used to determine the direction.​
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Compasses are mainly used in navigation to find direction on the earth. This works because the Earth itself has a magnetic field which is similar to that of a bar magnet (see the picture below). The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field direction and points north-south.

The shape of a sign gives you a clue about the information contained on the sign.
irakobra [83]
Yeah, like a stop sign. We know it is most likely a stop sign since it has 8 sides or is an octagon. 
I hope I helped!
